mind over matter

In eighth grade, I was all about the demonstrative speeches. Once I wowed the whole class with four minutes on handwriting analysis, and another time I taught my classmates how to iron a shirt. However, when our professor announced we’d need to create relevant how-to videos for our blogs, I was stumped. Psychology research has all sorts of interesting applications, but it’s not very exciting to watch someone ward off stress by breathing deeply or fend off Alzheimer’s by filling in a crossword.

 Thankfully, my beautiful assistant Anna was willing to help me show the world how to better their lives with one magic ingredient: sleep. That’s right, I’ve put together a quick how-to video, complete with cheesy music, that will help you get great shut-eye tonight.
