Hello and welcome to Happier, a podcast where we discuss, you guessed it, how to be

happier.

This week we'll talk about why you should remind yourself, remember this is supposed to

be fun and we have two hacks to try if you have trouble falling asleep.

I'm Gretchen Rubin, a writer whose studies happiness, good habits in human nature.

I'm in New York City and with me is my sister, Elizabeth Kraft and Elizabeth I know you

have been having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep recently.

That's me Elizabeth Kraft, a TV writer and producer living in LA and yes Gretchen when I'm

stressed I tend to not sleep well.

I think I share that with millions and millions and hundreds of millions of people.

Major happiness, humbling block.

Elizabeth, very exciting for our very special episode 170 which is coming up in a few weeks.

We're going to give an update on how we're doing with our 18 for 2018 lists.

We have some progress to report, some lack of progress to report, at least on my side.

Maybe you can have a spur of energy knowing that 170 is coming up and then we're going

to have to report.

But we want to hear from listeners.

Yes, how has 18 for 2018 worked for you?

What have you done?

What's not getting done?

Any observations, examples?

We'd love great before and after stories.
