Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel

Go running with a colleague.

I used to for more than 10 years when I was at the NIH.

Twice a week, three times a week, I would go out with one of my dear friends.

We would go for five or six miles running, and we'd have a conversation and, you know, bit more about her job, you know, what was going well, what, what.

You can make each of these activities more than just the exercise and a sort of single-minded, it's all about me.

You can make it fun.

It's fun.

It's fun.

The important thing about sleep to recognize is this is the one of the six wellness activities you cannot will yourself to do.

You can't lie in bed and say, I am going to fall asleep.

It has to come.

And so what you can do, I like to say, is make the bed.

But, you know, in the end, it's got to come to you.

You've got to get the room right.

You've got to make it dark, make it cool.

Don't look at your screen before bed.

I have this routine where I get in bed and I read a regular book with real pages.

So I'm not looking at a screen.

And then I know my eyes are beginning to get heavy.

I can't remember the last sentence I read.
