This Week In Lights Out: Feet, Brakes, Hunger, Nightcaps
5,322 studies on a warm bath, a dose that cut time-to-sleep to under six minutes, 270 calories, and the 9% one glass costs you.
Four issues this week, and the most expensive thing in any of them was a pair of socks. What they had in common was a signal your body was already trying to send, and something small standing in its way.
If you keep four sentences from the week, keep the ones on these cards.
THE WEEK IN FOUR CARDS
MONDAY
Your core has to cool, and the heat leaves through your hands and feet.
Put socks on, and take the warm shower ninety minutes before lights-out rather than five, because five minutes before puts you in bed still radiating.
Four subjects, and the same shape under all of them. Your body was doing its job the whole time. Something small was standing on the hose.
If you only do one thing: put socks on tonight, and take your shower ninety minutes earlier than usual.
WEEKEND CHALLENGE
Take one dry night this weekend, and write down the time you wake.
Then compare it with the night either side of it. Two times in a notebook, no equipment, and a question you have been guessing at for years gets answered by Sunday.
