Tucking Your Mind In Before Your Body

The secret to good sleep isn’t tea or tincture or the careful engineering of a mattress that hugs you like a desperate lover. It’s something smaller, more mischievous. It’s about the last good thing that happens to you before you surrender to the dark.

If you can remember one tiny delight, a laugh that escaped you at dinner, the way your dog sighed as he settled in, the warmth of the shower on your back, sleep becomes less of a shutdown and more of a soft landing. The mind loves a final scene before the credits roll.

That begs a question with a grin attached. When exactly does that last good thing happen? And if you can’t recall one, maybe the universe is nudging you to make one.

You could light a candle just to blow it out. Write a single sentence that nobody will ever read. Sit outside and listen to the hum of something that isn’t human.

The point isn’t perfection. It’s punctuation. A tiny period of pleasure at the end of a sentence called your day.
