Tonight’s SleepWise Special is a gentle Behavioral Science 101… a calm, bedtime-friendly tour of why we do what we do. We explore (i) procrastination, (ii) social comparison, (iii) phone checking, (iv) loss aversion, (v) conformity, (vi) people-pleasing, (vii) overthinking, (viii) public speaking anxiety, (ix) and the quiet power of habits. Along the way, we use three simple lenses to make behavior feel understandable instead of personal: biology (evolutionary wiring), social structure (norms, belonging, status), and incentives (rewards, friction, relief). No lectures, no judgment… just soothing clarity. Settle in, let the mind unwind, and allow insight to soften self-criticism. Good night. ---- SleepWise, Sleep Stories, Bedtime Stories, Guided Sleep, Relaxation, Mindful Sleep, Calm Narration, Science for Sleep, ASMR Sleep, Deep Relaxation, Falling Asleep, Sleep Meditation, Guided Meditation, Sleep Podcast, Soothing Voice, Peaceful Storytelling, Night Routine, Sleep Aid, Mindfulness, Restful Night, Relaxing Audio, Gentle Storytelling, Sleep Channel, Meditation for Sleep, SleepWise Podcast, Sleep Narration, Calming Stories, Rest and Relaxation, Sleep Help, Tranquil Nights
