Episode 36: How to Choose Your Last Thought of the Day for Better Sleep

About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of choosing your last thought before sleep to improve sleep quality and overall well-being.

Most of us are intentional about how we start our mornings, but rarely think about our last thought before sleep. It turns out that final moment before you drift off matters more than you might realize. Your brain continues processing and consolidating whatever is on your mind as you fall asleep, which means choosing that last thought carefully could change not just how you sleep, but how you feel the next day.
