And here's the problem is the second you look at your phone, the time is there.
You instantly do the mental math and now you're pissed off.
It's 3.30 in the morning.
I'm up again.
This sucks.
Sleep, sleep, sleep.
And you try to force your brain to sleep.
Well, guess what you've done?
You've increased your heart rate.
You've increased your temperature.
And you've increased your anxiety just by looking at the clock or your phone.
So for sure, for sure, for sure, if you can avoid peeing, don't go pee.
But absolutely, positively, don't look at the clock.
If you look at the window and it's dark, go back to bed.
Okay, step number three.
All right, Michael, I didn't look at the clock and I didn't go pee, but I'm awake.
What should I do?
So what I have people do here is I need to do something where I can avoid what we call monkey mind.
I don't know if I have to give you a description of monkey mind, but I think everybody out there probably knows what I mean by monkey mind.
