Your Weekly Mental Health Reset: Top 5 Insights You Might Have Missed

Knowing which headlines actually move the needle lets busy dads (and moms) skip doom-scrolling and invest limited energy where returns are highest.

Below is a preview of today’s Mitten Dad Minute “Sunday Reset.”

• Steal the U.K. “phone-free pact” template and end the “but everyone else has one” battle once and for all.

• Reset your nap routine to < 20 min and dodge the mortality bump tied to long, erratic siestas ; add a daily spoonful of kefir to feed those Faecalibacterium “good bugs” missing in anxious guts.

• Ask HR if the newly reimbursable Sleepio Rx digital-CBT is on your health plan and finally bank real sleep ; and swap one doom-scroll for 30 minutes in a community garden to slice stress while the kids dig in the dirt.

The paid edition unpackages every headline into a 3-sentence “why it matters,” a one-minute home experiment, and a ready-to-print checklist—plus you’ll unlock a members-only discount on my Niche Navigator GPT that isn’t offered anywhere else.
