OWN IT: A Network Dedicated to Small Business Success

About six months ago, we defined a Main Goal and started using The Morning Ritual to hit our Target Number. It's been strangely effective.

In other words, people can learn new information while they sleep, and this can unconsciously modify their waking behavior. Sleep-learning experiments are notoriously difficult to conduct. For one thing, one must be sure that the subjects are actually asleep and stay that way during the "lessons. " The most rigorous trials of verbal sleep learning have failed to show any new knowledge taking root.
