Before the new year begins,

give your sleep a gentle reset.



December is the perfect moment to reset your sleep—calm your nervous system, restore your circadian rhythm, and enter the new year feeling lighter.

Here’s a simple, science-backed guide to help you rebalance your nights with small steps and the right sounds.


🧠 Why a Sleep Reset Works (Science in 20 Seconds)

Your body relies on predictability: same wind-down time, same cues, same rhythm.
When stress, screens, late nights, or winter darkness disrupt those cues, your brain’s sleep–wake center (the suprachiasmatic nucleus) becomes confused.

A reset helps by:

  • lowering cortisol (stress hormone)

  • stabilizing melatonin release

  • regulating your internal clock

  • improving sleep depth & REM consistency

And the simplest tools for resetting?
Light, sound, and a consistent routine.


šŸŒ™ Your 3-Step Year-End Sleep Reset


Step 1: Build a Predictable Wind-Down Window (20–30 minutes)

Science shows your body needs a gradual descent into sleep, not an abrupt stop.

Try:

  • dimming lights

  • putting your phone away 30 minutes before bed

  • choosing one calming activity (reading, stretching, journaling)

Recommended Hotmoon Sounds:

  • ā€œFireplaceā€ for grounding

  • ā€œCreekā€ to slow heart rate

  • ā€œPiano-Inner Strengthā€ for emotional calm


Step 2: Sync Your Body Clock With Sound Cues

Your brain responds to repeated sound cues the same way it responds to light:
they become signals that say,
ā€œIt’s time to rest now.ā€

Try using the same sound every night for one week.
Repetition = stronger neural association = easier sleep onset.

Try these routines:

  • 15 minutes of Rain in the Yard

  • Switch to Night OceanĀ as you lie down

  • Let your device loop softly at low volume


Step 3: Fix Your Morning Rhythm (Most Important!)

Your morning wake pattern controls your night.
Consistent, gentle mornings reset the entire 24-hour cycle.

This is where Luna Pro shines.

Why it works (science):

A harsh alarm spikes cortisol + adrenaline, which disrupts your circadian rhythm.
A gentle, staged wake process helps your brain transition naturally from light sleep → wakefulness.

Luna Pro’s dual-stage alarm system:

  • Wake Up (30 sec): soft tones to lift cognitive state

  • Get Up (20 min later): melodic cue to fully wake without stress

This method reduces morning grogginess and improves evening melatonin release.

Recommended morning tones:

  • Drum of Day

  • Blooming Joy

  • Dew Touch


🌟 Your Year-End Reset Routine (Copy & Use Tonight)

Night:

  1. 20 min wind-down

  2. Play Creek

  3. Switch to Fireplace when getting into bed

  4. Keep room dim (use Clock Brightness 0–10%)

Morning:

  1. Use Luna Pro dual-stage wake

  2. Get light exposure within 10 minutes of waking

  3. Keep wake-up time consistent

This alone can improve sleep within days.


✨ Step into the New Year Rested

A sleep reset doesn’t need to be complicated.
Just small, steady signals — light, sound, rhythm.

And we’re here to make every step gentle.
