🌀 Why Your Brain Won't Let You Sleep (Plus the Fix)

– Friday Reset –

Tried every hack for better sleep?

Here's what researchers discovered: Your brain is terrible at letting go.

But there's a stupidly simple fix.

📝 Before bed, grab a pen. Jot down 3-5 things you want to do tomorrow. That’s it.

Not your feelings. Not what already happened. Just what still needs to be done.

📊 In a controlled study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, people who made a simple to-do list before bed fell asleep up to 37% faster than those who journaled about their day.

Why? Because your anxious brain finally gets permission to let go. The mental load shifts from your head to paper.

🔆 Invitation for Today 🔆

Keep a notepad by your bed. Offload your brain. Your future rested self will thank you.
