"Shut Off Your Brain!" - An Entrepreneur's Guide to Actually Sleeping
If you're a night owls or a sleepless entrepreneur, today's episode is for you. I'm talking about something topic that's kept me up nights: how to actually get some sleep when your brain refuses to power down.
As business owners, our minds are our superpowers. But sometimes, that superpower goes into overdrive, leaving us staring at the ceiling at 2 AM, wondering, "Why can't I sleep even though I'm exhausted?!"
In this episode, I'm sharing:
My personal struggles with insomnia and what I did about it (spoiler alert: I've tried counting sheep, and it doesn't work)
Why telling yourself to "just relax" is about as effective as telling a cat to fetch
Practical, science-backed strategies that can helped you tame your restless mind
We'll explore some game-changing concepts like:
The body's relaxation response (and how to hack it)
Why consistency is key (even on weekends - I know, I'm sorry!)
Sleep hygiene tips that actually work (and don't require you to become a completely different person)
We can't actually "shut off" our brains (they're kind of essential for the whole being alive thing), but we can learn to work with them instead of against them.
So if you've ever found yourself doom-scrolling at midnight or solving business problems in your dreams, this episode is for you.
