Ep. 82 You say you want better sleep, but are your habits, thoughts, and choices keeping you stuck in the cycle of exhaustion?
In this episode of The Doze Podcast, Certified Sleep Coach Soda Kuczkowski calls out the subtle ways we sabotage our own sleep, even when we think we are doing all the right things. From bedtime procrastination and chaotic sleep spaces to the “I’ve tried everything” mindset, Soda helps you recognize the hidden patterns that are working against your sleep—and exactly how to break them.
No perfection required. Just simple, consistent actions you can start tonight to reset your routine and reclaim your sleep.
What's Inside?
Why saying “nothing works” is often the biggest barrier to better sleep
How to break the loop of bedtime procrastination
The power of consistent wake-up times (even on weekends)
What your bedroom may be silently telling your brain
How to reduce sleep disruptions from eating, drinking, or tech use
A wind-down routine that works—without needing an hour or a spa
A gentle but firm mindset shift to help you stop self-sabotaging and start sleeping
Notable Quotes:
"Believing that your sleep is unfixable is the ultimate self sabotage."
"Sleep is not a reward you get after checking off your to-do list. It's the foundation that makes everything else possible."
