Episode 3020:
Dr. Neal Malik explores the hidden cost of falling asleep on the couch, revealing how this common habit sabotages sleep quality and creates downstream effects on focus, discipline, and health. His insights emphasize the power of intentional routines and how small, unconscious choices can derail larger personal goals.
Quotes to ponder:
"Falling asleep on the couch is rarely intentional. It’s usually a result of being too mentally exhausted to follow through on your better intentions."
"You fall asleep with the TV on, your body twisted, your clothes still on, and without brushing your teeth or preparing for tomorrow."
"Small actions like this create decision fatigue, reduce your quality of sleep, and create psychological chaos."
