in that nice regenerative dopamine experience of sleep, just before that, you're just having this huge spike crash off sleep and you're waking up with a lower dopamine level. And if you can end the day with a healthier experience, you're going to wake up with a higher regeneration of dopamine. And then you're going to think, okay, I'm ready to attack the day.

So the first thing, quick reflection, very simple way to do that would literally just be to look back at your tasks list or look back at your calendar and think, okay, cool, I've done this, I've done a podcast, we've done some meetings or whatever it may have been. then I think you need a period of time away from wherever you were working.
