THH048—You Miss 100% of the Naps You Do Not Take

Here are some key takeaways from this follow-up episode:

• Sleep quality is more important than quantity. Just counting hours slept does not indicate how restorative the sleep was.

• Good sleep requires honoring your natural sleep and wake cycles. Go to sleep when tired and be awake when awake. Don't force or resist either state.

• Sleep hygiene is critical - the activities and environment before bedtime. Dim lights, avoid electronics, relaxing rituals. As important as morning routines.

• Naps can be restorative if taken when naturally tired. Don't oversleep and disrupt sleep-wake cycle. Let yourself wake up naturally.

• What and when you eat and drink affects sleep. Caffeine, alcohol, and late night meals can impair sleep onset and continuity.

• Take time to consciously transition from waking to sleeping state. Mimic morning routines with baths, reading, meditation. Don't just jump into bed.
  

Overall, be as intentional about sleep habits as daily morning rituals. Quality sleep requires both quantity and excellent sleep hygiene practices. Make sleep a priority.
