If there was a pill that consistently and instantly boosts your cognitive and physical performance - it would contain sleep!

If peak performance starts to slip, don’t blame your willpower - look at your sleep.

We dive straight into the 3 levers that consistently turn “I’m fine” into focused, calm, and energetic: the stories you tell yourself, the routine you follow, and the environment you live in. From caffeine myths to all-nighter bragging rights, we call out the habits that quietly wreck deep sleep and show a clear path to better nights that fuel better days.
First, we challenge the big beliefs. Then we move into daily routines that make sleep reliable. Finally, we tackle context - the social and physical cues that shape your sleep quality.

The throughline is simple: sleep is a skill you design, not a mystery you endure.
