Most people scroll themselves to sleep. I used to be one of them.

In this episode, I share how stress, overworking, and revenge bedtime procrastination can quietly sabotage your sleep and your peace of mind. I open up about a personal story involving late-night scrolling, forgotten online orders, and the moment I realised something had to change.

You’ll learn how to use a simple three-step tea and journaling routine to wind down, clear your mind and sleep more deeply. Backed by research and rooted in mindfulness, this bedtime tea ritual is about more than rest. It’s about reclaiming your evenings and protecting your mornings.

This isn’t about productivity. It’s about peace.
