PROTOCOL
——————

Daily Sleep & Darkness

When the sun goes down, your body is designed to shift into repair mode. Darkness is the signal that allows this transition to happen. When nighttime light exposure, late stimulation, or modern environments interrupt that signal, melatonin release is suppressed and the body’s natural recovery processes are delayed. This protocol shows you how to protect darkness throughout the evening and night, reduce disruptive light exposure, and support deep, restorative sleep. It provides clear, step-by-step guidance for creating a sleep environment and nightly rhythm that supports melatonin, cellular repair, and nervous system recovery in real life.

FAQs

Why is this a paid protocol and not a free guide?
Most free guides are designed to introduce concepts while withholding clear answers until you pay a higher price, or to tease a few surface-level steps so you will eventually buy a longer course. This protocol is paid, but intentionally priced to be accessible, because it gives you what most people are actually trying to reach at the end of a course: clear, complete, step-by-step instructions for what to do each day. It reflects exactly what Carrie teaches and practices herself, distilled from years of research, learning, and hands-on client work. The recommendations are grounded in both science and lived experience, not generic advice, content copied from others, or surface-level summaries, and Carrie can clearly explain both the reasoning and the application behind every step. Even if you never purchase another product, join the community, or watch another video, this protocol contains exactly what Carrie would have you do to reduce artificial light exposure and improve sleep, saving you time, eliminating guesswork, and removing the need to piece together fragmented information on your own.

How long is this protocol?
It's 10 Google Drive pages. But remember, length doesn't always equate to quality. Many people sell longer protocols or "30-Page Free Guides," but they're often full of subpar information (or, worse, AI-generated "filler" text) to make it sound like you're buying something substantial for the price. In truth, they lack substance, are exhausting to read, and leave you more confused than when you started. On the other hand, this protocol is packed with substance from start to finish, quick and easy to read, and will leave you with total clarity about what to do each day.

Will I get lifetime access?
Yes!

How do I access the protocol after purchase?
The protocol is delivered as a living Google Doc. You will receive the link via email immediately after purchase, and it will also appear as a product in your Library on Carrie’s site so you never lose access. You may bookmark the link in your browser to return to it at any time. You may also print a copy for your own personal reference. Please do not share the link or printed materials with others.

Is this a PDF download?
No. This is intentionally not a PDF. The protocol lives in a real-time Google Doc so you always have access to the most current version if updates or refinements are made.

Do I need to buy special products or tools to use this
In many cases, some basic tools are helpful for this protocol to be truly effective. Because sleep and darkness are highly sensitive to light exposure, most people will need an effective pair of blue light blockers, a way to create circadian-friendly lighting in the evening, and often blackout curtains or another method to block outside light at night. That said, you do not need to buy everything at once. The protocol is designed so you can start with the most impactful changes and gradually layer in supportive tools as your budget and learning allow. Carrie provides clear guidance on what matters most so you can prioritize effectively rather than overbuying or guessing.

Does this include medical advice?
No. This protocol is provided for educational purposes only and is not medical advice. It is not a substitute for one-on-one care with a qualified healthcare practitioner.

Is this protocol safe to use long-term?
Yes. This protocol is built around foundational sleep, darkness, and circadian principles rather than short-term interventions. It is designed to be used consistently and adapted over time, not cycled on and off like a trend. The guidance emphasizes protecting melatonin, supporting natural repair processes, and making gradual adjustments based on how your body responds, so the goal is deeper rest and resilience rather than forcing sleep or overriding signals.

Does this include medical advice?
No. This protocol is educational and not medical advice, nor is it a substitute for one-on-one care with a trusted practitioner.

Can I share this with a friend or clients?
No. Purchasing provides access for personal use only. Copying, sharing, or distributing is not permitted without explicit permission.

What if I want to ask questions?
If you want a place to ask questions, receive Carrie’s guidance, or explore sleep & darkness through the circadian lens more deeply, you are welcome to join Sol Circle, Carrie’s private membership community, with details linked inside the protocol. This option exists to support you if you want additional context or clarification, not to pressure you into further purchases. The protocol is complete on its own and does not require you to pay for anything beyond it unless you choose to.
