Think Less, Sleep More

from The Next Big Idea Daily · host Next Big Idea Club

What if the secret to better sleep is trying a little less? In Think Less, Sleep More: From Panic & Perfectionism to Stress-Free Sleep, sleep physiologist Stephanie Romiszewski argues that sleep isn’t a performance to optimize—it’s a biological process we often disrupt by monitoring, managing, and worrying about it. Then, in Addicted to Anxiety: How to Break the Habit, psychotherapist Owen O’Kane helps explain why anxiety can become a pattern we cling to, even when it keeps us wired. 🎁 Save 20% on a Next Big Idea Club membership when you used code PODCAST at⁠ ⁠nextbigideaclub.com⁠⁠ ✉️ Get big ideas in your inbox with our daily newsletter.
