“Motivation will almost always beat mere talent.”
The percentage of Americans who watch TV or streaming before bed - and that’s probably a low estimate since it’s self-reported survey data. Don’t forget to unplug from technology for the best night sleep - check out the Thrive25 Evening Routine (Issue #11) to optimize your sleep. (source)
This Week
This week we covered sleep from power naps to hibernation.
Issue #280 - balance holiday festivities with healthy sleep habits: maintain a consistent wake-up time, maximize sleep efficiency, manage late-night eating and drinking, and limit caffeine intake.
Issue #281 - science and benefits of power naps and non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) for enhancing mood, energy, focus, and cognitive function.

Inspiration
Short and sweet inspiration for everyone today as you get everything together this weekend to celebrate time with family and friends.
I can’t think of a better message to share going into the holidays.
It’s why we do what we do at Thrive25 - to connect the ways we can boost our personal health & longevity with the purpose of the life we want to live and the people we want to share that life with.
Wishing all of you a happy holiday full of energy and joy!
Thanks to reader JB Scherpelz for sharing!
Programming note
We’ll be celebrating with our families this weekend too and won’t be sending out an email on Tuesday, December 26th.
Look for us in your inbox next Thursday (12/28).
Happy Holidays!!

What We’re Listening To | Break Free
This pod will really give a few “whoa” moments. According to Bruce Lipton, we are of two minds - the subconscious and the conscious. The subconscious is the hard drive and associated programs (how to walk, how to talk, how to drive) and the conscious is the keyboard allowing the user to create or use programs as needed (let’s go walk to the store).
When we “think” - which is 95% of the time - we look inward and our subconscious mind takes over.
It’s difficult to break free from these programs and truly own your life here and now - Dr. Lipton provides tips on how to empower ourselves to live the life we want.

Brain Games | Disoriented Campers
A group of campers have been on vacation so long, that they've forgotten the day of the week. The following conversation ensues:
Aaliyah: What's the day? I don't think it’s Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
Byron: Well that doesn't narrow it down much. Yesterday was Sunday.
Gita: Yesterday wasn't Sunday, tomorrow is Sunday.
Melissa: The day after tomorrow is Saturday.
Sanjay: The day before yesterday was Thursday.
Susie: Tomorrow is Saturday.
Wyatt: I know that the day after tomorrow is not Friday.
If only one person's statement is true, what day of the week is it?

** Brain Games Answer **
Wednesday
We think in tables - draw one by hand or in Excel/Sheets. The first column is name and the rows are for each person. The next 7 columns are for the day of the week. Evaluate each person’s statement as a row and denote which days (columns) it could be if the statement was true in a grid with a 1. Sum each day (column) - the day equal to 1 is the answer.

So we started Thrive25 to transform what we’ve learned into something useful for the rest of us to spend just 3-5 min a day to optimize our health & longevity.
