Elon Musk, the entrepreneur behind SpaceX and Tesla, has revealed that part of his success is closely tied to his unique bedtime routine. Beyond his busy schedule and multi-million dollar responsibilities, Musk dedicates 30 minutes each evening to a combination of light meditation and reading non-technical books, giving his brain a “time to calm down.”
Sleep experts and neurologists explain that this practice, combined with staying away from digital screens and a regular sleep schedule, helps reduce stress, improve sleep quality, and stimulate creativity. “The events and complex problems of the day can negatively impact our brains before we go to sleep. The act of stopping and focusing our minds elsewhere is a simple but remarkable strategy,” says a renowned neurologist.
Musk's ritual shows that even the world's busiest and most powerful people seek ways to maintain mental peace and performance. For his fans and followers, it's a clear lesson: success isn't just about hard work and ambition, but also about self-care and routines that improve the quality of life.
