In this episode, you'll learn:

- Why the eyes can offer clues about nervous-system arousal
- How the pupils, noradrenaline, and alertness are linked
- Why narrow, screen-focused attention can keep the mind activated
- How widening your visual field may help signal safety and relaxation
- What lateral eye movement has in common with walking and other calming practices
- A simple eye exercise Dr. Miles suggests for settling back to sleep

Dr. Miles also unpacks a line from the "Yin Fu Jing: "The heart is born from things and dies from things." He considers what it means to guide your attention outward—or zoom out—when you feel caught in a cycle of stress, overwork, or restless nights.

Listen for a fresh perspective on sleep and a simple practice to try when you wake in the middle of the night.
