Everyone has a dream. But sometimes there’s a gap between where we are and where we want to be. True, there are some people who can bridge that gap easily, on their own, but all of us need a little help at some point. A little boost. An accountability partner. A Snooze Squad. In each episode, the Snooze Squad will strategize an action plan for people to face their fears.

Welcome to Part 2 of our special sleep series, Habit Thrivers!
Last week, we explored why sleep matters so deeply — especially during our Me Now years — and how stress, hormones, and even our habits can get in the way.
Today, on Episode #173 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we shift into exploring how we can support it — practically, mindfully, and consistently.
Before diving into practical tools, we bust three common sleep myths:
- Myth #1: We need less sleep as we age — not true! Your body still craves deep rest; it just gets harder to reach.
- Myth #2: You can "catch up" on sleep over the weekend — tempting, but false. Sleep debt isn’t like a bank account.
- Myth #3: Waking up at night means you’ve failed — in reality, it’s part of your natural sleep cycle.
Then, I share 3 powerful ways to support better sleep, starting right now!
- Begin Your Day with Gratitude: Good sleep starts in the morning.
- Honor Consistent Sleep & Wake Times: This strengthens your circadian rhythm, supports hormone balance, and helps everything from digestion to mood.
- Release the Day Before Bed: Whether it’s a thought, worry, or event, give it permission to rest so you can, too.
As we move through Thanksgiving week here in Canada, let’s carry forward the energy of gratitude — not just for better sleep, but for the people, places, and moments that hold us.
Sweet dreams, and see you next week.
