The unexpected lesson

I used to wake up in the middle of the night with sweat dripping from my head, even though the weather wasn’t hot. The broken sleep affected my energy, my mood, and my ability to create. I started worrying. I wondered whether I was stressed without realising it, or whether something might be wrong with my body.

Then one night, I learned an unexpected lesson.

I wash my hair every night before bed and always dry it quickly with hot air. But one day, I tried switching to cold air instead—and the night sweats disappeared instantly.

I never knew my hair could trap heat and release it while I slept. There’s no scientific explanation I can offer, but that small discovery helped me sleep better, and that alone improved my life. It made me realise that the best kind of learning is learning about yourself.

Even the smallest change in your life is always something big.
