Again,

We know for a fact that these interventions can produce huge results in short period of time.

However, you need to do them.

And if you do a little bit at a time, you're more likely to stick with it.

So be reasonable, be nice to yourself.

Just add a little bit.

Let's say I'm gonna walk 500 steps more today.

Instead of taking the elevator, take the steps.

If you have choices throughout the day that you know are healthy choices, do a little bit.

And we're going to talk about the second pillar, third pillar soon.

But if you see junk food, don't eat it.

Or if you must eat it, eat half of it at first.

Just do interventions little by little over time and you will see that the results will compound over time.

One thing I find interesting in talking about sleep with people is that many people assume sleep problems are part of life.

Many of my patients say to me things like, well, everybody has sleep problems.

As if, well, it is what it is.

You need to make sleep a priority.

Most sleep problems are treatable.

If you have difficulty falling asleep, or if you wake up in the middle of the night, there are six, seven different common causes.

Number one being too much stress.
