Healthy Tips: Thankful Thoughts = Better Zzz’s: Gratitude’s Gift of Sleep

Forget counting sheep. Count your blessings instead—turns out they’re better at putting you to sleep.

Healthy tip: Grateful people fall asleep faster, sleep longer, and wake up feeling more refreshed. Why? Because a mind focused on appreciation has less room for worry. Tonight, skip the midnight scroll and say thanks instead. Try this nightly ritual: as you settle into bed, say aloud or write down five things you’re thankful for that day. Let your mind rest on the good.
