I've been working on dialing in my sleep for months. Trying all the recommended sleep hygiene protocols. And I kept waking up feeling terrible despite doing all the right things. When I finally figured out what was tanking my sleep, I was genuinely surprised. It wasn't what I expected. This week I'm sharing what I found, and one small change you can try tonight. If you're struggling with sleep or waking up irritable, this one's for you.

Feeling empty doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful or failing at life. It means there’s a hollow place within—like a room that’s been shut for too long, untouched and unlit. You go through the motions, but it all feels flat, disconnected, or strangely absent.
