Do you have a habit of writing your to-do list for tomorrow before you go to bed? Research has shown that doing so may also improve sleep! A study randomly divided healthy adults into two groups: one group wrote a to-do list for the next few days and the other group wrote a diary of activities they had completed in the past few days.
The results showed that participants who wrote to-do lists fell asleep significantly faster than those who wrote journals. More importantly, the more specific the to-do list was, the faster they fell asleep; conversely, the more specific the completed tasks were, the slower they tended to fall asleep.
