SLEEP

 Nice News - Tossing and turning in bed is an all-too-familiar experience for many of us — roughly a third of U.S. adults have symptoms of insomnia. As much as we love our sleep masks and bedtime podcasts, the more tips to drift off into dreamland the better, and some researchers have made the case for the tried-and-true to-do list.

Per the BBC, one previous study found that workers at a German IT company slept better when they didn’t have any “unfinished tasks,” and another from 2019 explicitly tested the impact of making a to-do list before bed. The authors of the latter paper found the group of participants who jotted things down fell asleep 15 minutes faster, on average, than those who had their tasks simply swirling in their heads. The task-writing group also dozed off quicker than those who wrote down a list of things they had already achieved.....

So how much should you write? Scullin said being specific and comprehensive is best, noting participants who wrote 10 or more tasks snoozed the fastest.
