It went off and it told me like, OK, I need to wind down.

Studies show that 10 PM is the hour between 10 to 11 is considered the golden hour for sleep for lots of things, cardiac, mental health, wellbeing.

Back then I didn't we didn't have smartphones.

I'm like, you know, kind of a dinosaur.

We had flip phones.

And so I would have to shut down everything and say, OK, it's time for bed.

And that was sort of like one of the first things I did.

And so I prioritized sleep.

and really focused on a 10 p.m.

And then once I started prioritizing my sleep, everything changed.

bedtime, I started setting a bedtime alarm.

And then I started learning breathing techniques.

930 was my bedtime alarm.

It went off and it told me like, OK, I need to wind down.

So I talk about some of these breathing techniques in the Vive Resets, but understanding that your breath, that was a big aha moment for me, understanding that your breath can be connected to your stress and that when you modulate your breath and do different sorts of exercises to help with your breathing, you can decrease stress.
