That medical resident journey is very similar to an early stage entrepreneur, even a middle career entrepreneur who's just working constantly thinking like, oh, this is just how things, this is how it has to be.

I was living the resilience myth, which is like,

Brazilian people don't get stressed.

We're superheroes.

But in fact, that is not true.

We are all just simply mere mortals and your brain and your body need rest.

I'm resilient and I'm going to just keep going and going until you hit your breaking point, you know.

And so if you're working 80 hours a week and not having any time to decompress, you know, that...

And so that was my aha moment that you could come out of stress by doing really simple things consistently.

So five or 10 minutes every day, I would do a few things.

So I started prioritizing a 10 o'clock bedtime.

Studies show that 10 p.m.

is the hour between 10 to 11 is considered the golden hour for sleep for lots of things, cardiac, mental health, well-being.
