Default ..what helped me!

When I was a manager, I often had issues which would awaken me in the wee hours of the AM.

My mind would race, worry would take over and I would be up until the alarm went off. When I did get up in the morning, the problems would seem greater than they really were.

I started sleeping with a headphone earbud in and a sports talk radio station on. When I would wake up, I could concentrate on the sports and not the problems, have my mind stop racing and fall back to sleep.

Still do it effectively til this day.
