How to sleep better 101. Transform your decisions, learning, leadership and give your full potential a fair chance.

Angela Shurina Season 2025

Ready for a life boost that doesn’t require another app, hack, or supplement?   

Today we unpack why sleep is the hidden engine behind emotional stability, sharper decisions, and real learning, and how a few consistent habits can transform your days by fixing your nights

We start with the brain, how chronic restriction (yes, even 1-2h a night) quietly erodes attention, working memory, processing speed, and reasoning. If you lead teams, negotiate deals, parent, or simply want to grow faster, “sleep on it” isn’t a cliché; it’s a strategy.  

Then we get practical.  

We lay out the core behaviors that reliably improve sleep quality.  

Finally, we show you how to make these shifts stick with a simple habit loop: trigger, action, reward. Pick one change per week, set hard boundaries around your schedule, and anchor it to a personal why that matters more than late-night distractions

This is a warm, candid guide for anyone who wants better focus, calmer emotions, and faster growth without grinding harder.
