Ever caught yourself saying the same phrase over and over – like a broken record stuck on repeat? Well, you’re not alone. Politics aside, it turns out that favorite expressions, or what the linguists call kǒutóuchán (口頭禪), are a fascinating peek into our brains. Recently, the article Big Beautiful Bill shined the spotlight on Donald Trump’s verbal tic — the endlessly repeated phrase 'big beautiful bill.' But what does this have to do with your sleep, morning energy, and overall wellbeing? Stick around; the connection might just surprise you.
Why Does Trump Keep Saying 'Big Beautiful Bill'? (And Why Do We Keep Using Our Own Favorite Phrases?)
Monica Hesse’s Washington Post article highlights a curious linguistic habit: Trump’s fixation on the phrase 'big beautiful bill,' which he seems to use without fully grasping its meaning. This is a classic example of a kǒutóuchán — a favorite oral tic or phrase that becomes stuck in your brain like bubblegum on a sneaker.
We all have our own verbal habits or phrases. Maybe you start your mornings with 'I’m so tired,' or you say 'just five more minutes' to yourself at bedtime. These little brain ticks are not just funny quirks; they reflect underlying habits and mindsets. And guess what? That ripple effect extends beyond language to how well you sleep and how you wake up.
The Surprising Link Between Verbal Habits, Sleep Quality, and Morning Energy
Why mention verbal tics on a blog about morning energy and better sleep? Because habits — vocal or behavioral — are windows to what’s going on inside us. Stressful mindsets, poor routines, or restless nights often manifest as repeated thoughts or verbal patterns. And if those habits are negative, they can sabotage your sleep and turn your mornings into a zombie apocalypse.
Here’s where things get juicy:
- Poor sleep quality leads to foggy mornings and a craving for caffeine just to function.
- Restless nights are often caused by physical issues like snoring, which disrupts breathing and sleep cycles.
- Snoring itself can be a silent saboteur of your energy levels — and guess what? It’s often overlooked even when it ruins your partner’s sleep.
So, if your verbal tics are clues to how your brain is wired, maybe physical signs like snoring are clues to why you can’t wake up feeling refreshed.
