The habit quietly wrecking your energy, clarity, and confidence? (Not enough people are talking about this.) One of my clients recently admitted: “I just can’t get myself to sleep by 11pm. I know it matters… but I still stay up scrolling or working until 1am.” And if I’m honest? I’m right there with them Sometimes it’s overstimulation. Sometimes it’s tabs still open—on the screen and in my brain. Sometimes it’s just trying to finish that one last thing. Then suddenly... 🕐 It’s nearly 1am. 🌫 And the next day? Feels like a fog. Here’s the truth I’ve been sitting with: ✨ Even small habits—like honoring a bedtime—are acts of leadership. They’re a reflection of how we guard our clarity, creativity, and capacity to serve. When I heard Kristen Holmes speak on the science of sleep, this hit me: “A 70-minute swing in your sleep time can reduce your emotional recovery.” And get this: -One glass of wine can reduce sleep quality by up to 40% -Chronic circadian disruption can shorten lifespan by 15 years Let that sink in. Your energy isn’t just personal. It’s professional. It’s spiritual. It’s foundational. 🗳 POLL What’s the #1 reason you struggle with consistent sleep? • Late-night scrolling • Time zone juggling post 10pm • Work/tasks bleed into night • I’m actually a night owl 😅 💬 If you’ve found a bedtime habit that works, share it below. Let’s crowdsource real-life wisdom—and maybe inspire each other to try again tonight. ♻️ Repost this if you believe rest is strategy. P.S. Want better sleep starting tonight? Try these micro-shifts (backed by Kristen Holmes + circadian science): 🌀 Sleep + wake at the same time daily 🌀 Aim to sleep between 10pm–4am for best recovery 🌀 Get 20 mins of sunlight within 20 mins of waking 🌀 Eat before sunset—ideally within a 10-hour window 🌀 No alcohol (yes, zero) 🌀 Dim lights after sunset to shift into “sleep mode” 🌀 Use an eye mask to block lingering light Your rest isn't a luxury—it's a leadership habit. 🌙 #Executives #Entrepreneurs #PortfolioCareer #leadership #LBFalumni #SkyHighTower
