Episode Synopsis

I talked about sleep, improving it, and making sense of it. This is truly something I am struggling with still but I'm working on it! 1. Prioritzation When I was in track back in high school I prioritized my sleep a ton! This led to me getting a lot of sleep and it was a routine pretty much. Sure I had my off days but they were the exception and definitely not the rule.This includes when you want to go to sleep. Are you prioritizing gaming, social media, etc. over sleepingThink of it like Radiator Springs in Cars – Try to go for the ease in preparing to sleep. Don’t open it back up at night. Every distraction has the potential to wake you up. Sometimes you will have to get up to take care of some things and that's okay. The point is that you want to feel somewhat in control Meditation - I didn't talk about it in the episode, but lately this is something that has helped me a lot too.Get Exercise - In the book Limitless it talks about how if you get a moderate amount of exercise throughout the week consistently it will really start to help your sleep. 2. Not Wishy-WashyHave a routine that helps you get it done.If you say that you're up for anything you will fall for anything. Be very careful of when you allow yourself to work because it can quickly turn into a habit.  3. Get Others Help Prayer is huge Tell Roommate The pull of proximity can be fatal. If your phone or game console is close by and you are trying to sleep it is possible that you will not do well. The pull of proximity can also be great. Thomas Frank keeps his guitar close by to him and because of this he doesn't miss a day of practice. Resources Used  Socials Instagram Support the show
