When people find out I teach a class about happiness, they usually ask for the Cliff Notes version.
What are my top 10 tips?
Or top five?
Some people even go straight to the point.
What's one thing I can change in order to be happier?
When my Yale students ask me this, my answer is always the same.
Get some sleep.
Having a solid eight hours of shut-eye is the foundation on which all the other happiness habits rest.
If you're exhausted,
you aren't going to make progress on any of the topics we tackle in this podcast.
So that's the simple answer.
Happiness requires sleep.
The problem is that getting the right amount isn't always easy.
For me, there's always that one last email to send before bed, just to get it off my plate.
But then another arrives and another.
And before I know it,
Hours have passed and the stresses of the day have just crept under the covers with me.
In the final episode of our New Year mini-season,
I'm going to talk about sleep with one of my favorite experts on the subject.
