Description

Mindful Sleep Tracking Routine

This routine focuses on tracking your sleep in a mindful way, without becoming overly anxious about sleep data. It encourages paying attention to how you feel and function throughout the day, rather than relying solely on sleep tracking apps.

# Benefits:

Reduced sleep anxiety
Better understanding of personal sleep patterns
Improved sleep quality through self-awareness
Continuous optimization of sleep habits

# New Book: Feel-Good Productivity

I recently interviewed sleep expert Russel Foster on my podcast to debunk some of the popular myths around sleep that leave us feeling tired and anxious. Hopefully, this will help you worry less about sleep and approach sleep in the healthiest way possible.
