Don’t miss out tonight, 6pm pst https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82654041042?pwd=b9PHMcwfyAVIxLzBJHat13bcTqMq1C.1 I’m going to drop some knowledge bombs in the thrive community with @Vasi Smith

Let’s say the quiet part out loud:Kids don’t just “interrupt” sleep — they reprogram it. Even when your child sleeps through the night, your nervous system often doesn’t. Here’s why 👇 • Hyper-vigilance becomes the defaultYour brain stays on low-level alert: listening for footsteps, coughing, doors, cries. That light sleep isn’t weakness — it’s parental wiring. • Sleep timing gets fragmentedLate nights to reclaim “me time.” Early mornings for school, sports, or tiny humans who think 5:12am is acceptable. The result? Shorter, broken sleep windows. • Mental load doesn’t shut offTomorrow’s lunches. Permission slips. Emotional check-ins. That running checklist keeps cortisol elevated when melatonin is supposed to rise. • Your body adapts… but at a costOver time, adults normalize exhaustion. Energy drinks replace rest. Irritability replaces patience. Recovery quietly falls apart. Here’s the reframe most parents need to hear: 👉 You don’t have a discipline problem. You have a sleep debt problem. What actually helps (realistically): • Earlier wind-down, not just earlier bedtime • Nervous system downshifts (breathing, light reduction, body cues) • Letting go of perfection around routines• Prioritizing sleep quality, not just hours You don’t need more willpower, you need strategies that respect the season you’re in. What’s the biggest way having kids has changed your sleep — and what have you tried that actually helped (even a little)? 👇 Let’s talk about it.

Travel is amazinggg… until it wrecks your sleep. And if you’re like me — always on the move, juggling work, coaching, meetings, airports and hotel rooms that all smell the same — you know exactly how fast travel can throw your rhythm off. Different time zones, late flights, skipped routines, terrible hotel pillows, dry airplane air, and that moment when you’re staring at the ceiling at 2:47 AM wondering why your brain thinks it’s noon… yeah, we’ve all been there haha But here’s the truth: you don’t have to sleep terribly when you travel. Your body isn’t the enemy — it’s just trying to keep up. 1. When you travel, which part of your routine falls apart first — your light exposure, your meal timing, or your nighttime wind-down? 2. Do you usually adjust to the new time zone quickly, or do you feel jet-lagged for days? 3. How often do you wake up in a hotel feeling more exhausted than when you went to bed?
