TIL a consistent wind-down playlist cut my post-work rumination in half.
After a brutal performance review, my brain would loop through every criticism as soon as I hit the pillow. I started playing the same ambient soundscape 30 minutes before bed, focusing only on the layers of sound. It created a mental buffer that stopped work thoughts from invading my sleep. What other auditory or mental cues have you used to separate office stress from bedtime? I'm worried this might stop working if I get promoted.
