    1. Make sure you can’t see a clock at night. Not knowing how late it is will stop your mind from going over at least one detail, how much time you have left to sleep.
    2. Get a notebook next to your bed so you can write things down if something urgent comes up in your mind. If you’re like me, changes are you’ll never write down anything.
    3. Try to not think about anything for 10 seconds or better 10 breaths. No toughts whatsoever.
    4. If everything fails, have a book or e-reader ready, so you can relax while reading for a bit. Nothing with LCD screens though, they tend to wake you up even more.


  • According to the book, grok is the Martian word for “to drink”. Since water is rare on Mars (and it is needed for life), it is a holy substance. Martians (and people studying the Martian language) share a drink of water to become “water brothers”, bathing is a profound ritual and to understand something or somebody completely is referred to as “drinking” them or it.
