  • Waking Up in the Middle of the Night? The One Habit That Can Keep You Up Longer

    Waking Up in the Middle of the Night? The One Habit That Can Keep You Up Longer
    Nov 7 2026
    The house is dark, nothing woke you, and before you’ve decided whether to roll over, you’ve already checked the time. 3:12. Then the math starts: if you fall asleep right now, that’s three hours and change. Then tomorrow’s meeting shows up, and the permission slip, and the call you promised to make.

    This episode starts with a common belief: that good sleep means eight unbroken hours. Sleep moves through cycles, and brief wakings can be a normal part of it. Many people notice two or three a night. For centuries, people even talked about a first sleep and a second sleep, though historians still argue over how common that was.

    Night waking has many possible causes, and some deserve a doctor’s attention. One thing many of us do in the first minute can make a short waking longer: checking the time. Sleep experts suggest leaving the clock out of it on nights you don’t need it. If you’re on call or caring for someone, check whenever you need to.

  • 7 Good Minutes: Extra - A Ten-Second Reset for the Next Morning Pileup

    7 Good Minutes: Extra - A Ten-Second Reset for the Next Morning Pileup
    Nov 4 2026
    The milk is on the floor, the phone is buzzing, and your chest just went tight. This short exercise, called Exhale, Rename, Next, gives you something to do in that moment, in about ten seconds.

    Let one or two slow breaths out, longer than the breath in. Quietly tell yourself this is your body getting ready, and that it's a hassle, not an emergency. Then ask what the one next thing is, and do only that.

    It won't bring instant calm, and it won't work every time. Practiced first on small moments, like a red light or a boiling kettle, it can make the next pileup a little easier to move through. It's meant for everyday hassles, not real emergencies.

  • Why the Shopping Pick-Me-Up Can Fade So Fast (And a Free Alternative to Try)

    Why the Shopping Pick-Me-Up Can Fade So Fast (And a Free Alternative to Try)
    Nov 8 2026
    It's nine-thirty at night, the kids are finally down, and you're on the couch with your phone. A jacket, a set of nice pens, a kitchen gadget. It goes in the cart, and for a minute you feel better. Three days later the box is on the porch, and you feel about the way you did before.

    There's nothing wrong with wanting a lift after a long day, and a small treat often does help. This episode looks at where that good feeling actually comes from. For many people it runs highest while they're wanting and waiting, before the thing ever arrives.

    Waiting for something to do also tends to feel better than waiting for something to have, and experiences often hold up longer, partly because we share them with other people. That research looked at paid experiences, but it suggests a free experiment worth trying: planning something small to look forward to. There's no rule against buying what you want.
