Lesson Overview

34.20 – The Sleep-Food-Stress Cycle (and How to Break It): Sleep, nutrition, and stress form a powerful loop that shapes your mental health. Poor sleep increases cravings for junk food, which leads to energy crashes and irritability. Those crashes then raise stress levels, making it even harder to rest. Breaking this cycle starts with small, consistent actions. Eat balanced meals, drink water, and wind down before bed. Avoid screens and caffeine late at night so your body can relax. Prioritize movement and fresh air during the day to release tension. When one part of the cycle improves, the others follow naturally. Building healthy habits doesn’t mean perfection—it means steady effort. The goal is balance, not control. Over time, these small changes reinforce each other, helping you wake up refreshed, handle stress better, and think with clarity and confidence every day.
