Sleep Better | The Same Steps Every Night

Send us Fan MailTonight, we follow Catherine Chen, who has not slept well in three years, as she discovers a small but real insight about why our brains learn — or fail to learn — to expect sleep. Catherine tried everything: magnesium, melatonin, blackout curtains, white noise machines, chamomile tea, and a nineteen-item list on her refrigerator. Nothing worked. Then on one Thursday when she was too tired to do any of it, she slept better than she had in months. This episode follows what she figured out — and what Ann Graybiel's habit research at MIT tells us about why the sequence matters more than any single intervention. Narrated by Margaret.
