Add this to your morning routine.
, a listener, Ben, has tried just about everything to get better sleep. So Andy Puddicombe, co-founder of the meditation app Headspace, suggests a new tactic: 10 minutes of meditation every day, at the start of the day. Puddicombe joined Ben and host Charles Duhigg to explain. This transcript of their conversation has been condensed and edited for clarity.
The thing that I heard when you were talking to us both earlier is that all of these things tend to come in waves. And, so if you’re feeling tired, then you won’t go to jujitsu. So the sleep starts dictating, rather than you saying, “OK, each day I’m going to commit to these two things, regardless of how last night went.”This is the first rule. Make sure you exercise, even when you’re tired, especially when you’re tired. The physical activity becomes a cue that your body expects.
When you do that, a few things happen. One, you let go of any sort of sense of grogginess from the night before. You calm the body, you calm the mind, and you set the intention. You lay down the foundation for the entire day. We start to create this feeling of continuity, stability of mind, where we know where we are in the day. Over a period of time, that means when we go to bed, the mind isn’t so hurried, is not so restless, is not so confused.
