I'm so tired, but I am way too cortisol, you know, sort of concentrated. Yeah, exactly. So those two things in the body are what we will... presumably, I think most people will cleave to as the ingredients to the type-wide phenomena. I also think upstairs, and they are interrelated, upstairs in the brain, you start to get this Rolodex of anxiety.

And I think we've all had that where we're stressed, you... In the modern world, we're constantly on reception. Very rarely do we do reflection. And now the only time based on modernity and how it inflects us that we do reflection is when our head hits the pillow at night. That's the worst time to do reflection.

Because when you start to have that kind of wheel of anxiety whirring, you begin to ruminate. When you ruminate, you catastrophize. everything seems twice as bad in the dark of night versus the light of day. And at that point, you're dead in the water for the next two hours.

And that will then only feed in to jacking up the fight or flight branch because you're kind of going through, what didn't I do today? What should I have done? What do I need to do tomorrow? I forgot to do that thing that's critical for next week. It's a mental sort of, you know,

train wreck in terms of your sleep that then just further perpetuates those two downstream physiological mal sort of consequences and then they ramp up and that leads to more yeah talk to me about interventions for those three So the principle one is that you've got to process that. And this is the hard part of the equation. Mental health work is tough work.

You can take medications and that can be one path for people. You can take certain medications that can try to lower your heart rate, shift you back over into that quiescent state. But most people don't want to reach for a pill immediately necessarily. one thing you can do is just catharsis.

Two or three hours before bed, not right before bed, pad of paper and a pen, and just write down, I just want you to vomit out all of your stresses and anxieties. And it turns out that simply doing that will decrease the time it takes you to fall asleep by 50%. No way. Yeah, it's a great study, Michael Scullin, fantastic work.
