Turn Midnight Motivation Into Momentum

Did you know those sudden bursts of motivation in the middle of the night

are often linked to how your brain works? Ever feel the urge at midnight

to go to the gym, start a new routine, or change your life overnight? Psychologists call

this temporal self-expansion. At night, pressure is low. Your brain feels free from daily

limits. Dopamine rises, so you set big goals — without the energy

to sustain them the next day. Then morning comes. You don’t follow through.

Over time, this causes something called self-trust erosion —

your brain stops believing that your goals are worth making at all.
