Willpower is hugely misunderstood. It actually has nothing to do with whether we’re strong or weak. It has a lot more to do with some basic things we don’t even connect with willpower, like sleep for example.
Studies show that just getting enough sleep increases our capacity to stick with our goals. When we’re tired we usually default to what’s easiest. And while doing what’s easiest means we’re making a decision, we can’t recognize the moment we're making that decision or the myriad of choices we have. Instead we slide down that slippery slope of least resistance.
