#71: 🧠 How Your Sleep Habits Are Quietly Destroying Your Focus

You don’t need more coffee—you need more sleep.

In this episode of Hard Truths, we uncover the brutal, science-backed reality: your sleep habits might be the hidden reason you feel foggy, unmotivated, emotionally reactive, and creatively flatlined.

Forget hustle culture. Your brain is begging for recovery.

You’ll learn:

• The neuroscience behind why poor sleep sabotages focus, memory, and self-control
  

• How screen time, blue light, and constant dopamine loops throw off your body’s natural rhythm
  

• What actually happens in your brain when you’re sleep-deprived (and why it mimics being drunk)
  

• Five science-backed strategies I personally use to get high-quality, restorative sleep—without overhauling your life
  

• A 7-day reset challenge designed to restore your cognitive power and emotional balance
  

We reference research from:

• Dr. Matthew Walker, author of Why We Sleep
  

• Harvard Medical School on blue light and melatonin suppression
  

• University of Pennsylvania on cognitive impairment from sleep restriction
  

• Nature and Science of Sleep meta-review on sleep hygiene and brain performance
  

This episode isn’t just about sleep—it’s about reclaiming your brain.

Because most of us aren’t unmotivated… we’re just under-recovered.

🎯 You’ll walk away with a clear plan to stop burning out and start thinking clearly again.
