| Four issues, and every one of them came down to a figure somebody forgot to pass on. Nine minutes saved by a pen, eighty milligrams in a capsule, the six-hour line that decides who catches a cold, and a nap far shorter than anybody guesses. None of these are new findings, and not one of them reached you through the people selling you things. Here is the week, on four cards. THE WEEK IN FOUR CARDS MONDAY Listing the jobs still undone beat journaling about today by nine minutes. Five minutes on paper before the light goes off, written as specifically as you can bear. [READ THE ISSUE](https://lights-out.ghost.io/bedtime-to-do-list-sleep/) TUESDAY Every serious lavender trial used a capsule, never a pillow spray. Standardized lavender oil at 80 mg once a day with food, judged at ten weeks rather than ten days. [READ THE ISSUE](https://lights-out.ghost.io/lavender-silexan-oral-dose/) WEDNESDAY Under six hours made people 4.2 times easier for a cold virus to infect. Hold seven hours through the autumn, guard the nights around your flu jab, and answer the first scratchy throat with an early night. [READ THE ISSUE](https://lights-out.ghost.io/sleep-immune-function-colds/) THURSDAY Ten minutes of nap worked better than thirty, with no grogginess at all. Set a fifteen-minute alarm, sit in a chair rather than your bed, and keep it before three in the afternoon. [READ THE ISSUE](https://lights-out.ghost.io/ten-minutes-beat-thirty-and-nobody-told-you/) Four figures, every one published years ago. None of them reached you, because nobody makes money telling a woman the useful figure. If you only do one thing: put a pad and a pen beside your bed tonight. WEEKEND CHALLENGE Write the five-minute list on Saturday night, then again on Sunday. Two nights is enough to notice something, and the weekend is when most women have five spare minutes to give it. Be ruthlessly specific, because that was the part that carried the effect. QUICK QUESTION Did you try any of this week's hacks? [YES](mailto:Claire%20Ashton%20%3Cmeloucou@gmail.com%3E?subject=Yes%20-%20I%20Tried%20One&body=Yes%2C%20here%27s%20the%20one%20I%20tried.) [NO](mailto:Claire%20Ashton%20%3Cmeloucou@gmail.com%3E?subject=No%20-%20Not%20Yet&body=No%2C%20not%20yet.) Sleep well,Claire Ashton |
