In many cases, we make sleep a lot more complicated than it needs to be. Sleep difficulties can turn into serious medical problems. For the vast majority of us, however, sleep difficulties are a lifestyle problem. Yet we tend to treat all our sleep-related woes the same way: with a pill.

We need to accept that we won't always make the right decisions, that we'll screw up royally sometimes - understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it's part of success.

Basically, success the way we've defined it is no longer sustainable. It's no longer sustainable for human beings or for societies.

Meditation, yoga, and walks are all ways to regulate our stress and reconnect.

Be a go-giver, not a go-getter

The advice I would give to my younger self is very, very simple: Stop burning the candle at both ends and renew your estranged relationship with sleep. You will be more productive, more effective, more creative, and more likely to enjoy your life.

Success is not a straight line, it's much more of a dance and being open to possibilities.
