We often scold ourselves for lacking discipline after work. But exhaustion, not laziness, may be the real barrier — and companies profit from it. My new post explains why.

A bit late with this one 🦉 — but two new posts are up: when losing sleep actually makes sense, and how “leisure sickness” hit me right after. Both sides of the story are on the blog — link in bio.

Follow-up to my last post on the morning routine fantasy: this time, it’s about chin straps. Yes, really. Why sleep and beauty don’t always mix—and what those “sleep hacks” might actually cost you.Read the full blog post via the link in my bio or in the comments.

Can night owls truly become morning people — or are some just better at adapting? I’m reflecting on chronotypes, routines, and whether change really sticks.

Why does no one talk about waking up at 5 a.m.? For night owls, that’s the middle of the night — but society sees it as “morning.” This blog post looks at how early-riser culture erases night owl sleep struggles.

A quick throwback to one of my earlier blog posts — back when I was still fully leaning into my night owl ways. 🌙
Late-night focus, quiet creativity, and no real plan for sleep.
Feels like a different life now.

This was my second ever blog post, where I took on The Miracle Morning routine — and quickly discovered how reality doesn’t always match the hype. If you’ve ever tried (and failed) to become a morning person, this one’s for you.

Ever wake up from a nap feeling worse than before? 😵‍💫
You might’ve hit deep sleep instead of a quick recharge.
This week’s blog breaks down nap lengths, sleep cycles, and whether caffeine naps are worth the hype.
10–20 min = clarity.
90 min = chaos.

Throwback to where it all started.
My first blog post: a night owl’s rant (and reality check) about being forced into early mornings in a morning-person world.
Still hits close to home.

You set a timer for a 20-minute nap—then wake up 90 minutes later, groggy. What happened? 😵‍💤
My new blog post breaks down what’s happening in your brain when a quick nap turns into a full sleep cycle.
Sleep isn’t just about hours — it’s about what your body really needs.
