The Seven Day Sleep Prescription
We often treat sleep like a stubborn child we need to coax or force into submission, trying every trick, supplement, or gadget, only to find ourselves more frustrated and awake. This relentless pursuit of rest often backfires, turning the very act of trying to sleep into a source of anxiety. Aric Prather's *The Seven Day Sleep Prescription* argues that our modern lives have fundamentally misaligned us from our natural sleep rhythms, but the solution isn't more effort; it's a strategic, seven-day reset. This episode unpacks how small, consistent behavioral shifts can re-educate your brain, moving you from the exhausting cycle of trying to sleep to genuinely understanding and aligning with your body's innate capacity for rest. It's about building a resilient relationship with sleep, not just chasing a perfect night.
