Your body hears every story your mind tells before sleep.
If the story is stress, your heart rate stays high.
If it’s worry, cortisol lingers through the night.
If it’s calm or gratitude, your vagus nerve signals safety and your body repairs.
🧠 During deep slow-wave sleep, your brain clears waste proteins like beta-amyloid — the same ones linked to cognitive decline.
Cortisol drops. Growth hormone rises. Emotional circuits reset.
Your body heals while your mind rewires.
This isn’t “positive thinking.”
It’s physiology.
Your mindset before midnight becomes a biological signal that shapes recovery, mood, and longevity.
Sleep doesn’t start in the body — it starts in the mind.
