Full Catastrophe Living: Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain, and Illness
Jon Kabat-Zinn
@wotsupalg @Work_Life_You Yes as soon as worry creeps in its hard. The most beneficial things I've read about sleep are about establishing healthy habits/routines leading up to sleep and about chilling out about sleep and that we actually need less than we think (Jon kabat zinn - full catastrophe living)

Drive: The Surprising Truth about What Motivates Us
Daniel H. Pink
@sebel44 @naomicfisher I think you raise it with colleagues and use research as your friend. 'Drive' by Daniel Pink is so good on this topic. Just start the conversation about why so many rewards are not necessarily a good thing. Will take time to change.
