Short YouTube advice by Nick Fisher explaining a sleep-based productivity technique: set concrete goals the night before so your brain continues working on them subconsciously during sleep. Speaker gives personal examples (waking to think about Facebook ads, spreadsheets) and claims this pre-sleep planning makes next-day tasks easier to execute.

But the key is you have to do it the night before, because when you go to sleep, your brain is doing all of this stuff while you're asleep. Like, you. I don't know if you've noticed before, but have you ever, like, woken up in the middle of the night and you're thinking about something like Facebook ads or, like, spreadsheets? Mine, I always think about spreadsheets and trying to consolidate different things. And so your brain's, like, working while you're asleep, and it's actually, like, getting further towards its goal while it's asleep. So if you set what you're going to do tomorrow and then go to sleep, you've already pretty much figured out, like, what you're going to do subconsciously, and it makes it much easier to do.
