We all know the feeling of waking up after a restless night's sleep—groggy, irritable, and dreading the day ahead. Poor sleep can take a toll on our physical and mental well-being, affecting our productivity and overall quality of life. The good news is that by cultivating a better sleep microhabit, we can pave the way to restful nights and energized days. Let's explore effective strategies to develop a healthier sleep routine and improve the quality of your sleep

Perhaps the only season of my life where I resisted naps was when I was around four. I wanted to be awake - absorbing the world around me like a sponge! But my poor mom needed nap time (for her) like she needed oxygen. And so, she’d pile a bunch of books on my bed, place me in the middle, and tell me that if I didn’t want to sleep, I could “read quietly.” I was an early reader, and so I read quietly, but soon got through the books, and resumed playing in my room, with the door closed. 

We all know the benefits of solid sleep for our physical health, but did you know it is just as important for our mental health as well? Getting healthy sleep helps to regulate emotions, keeping us calmer & better able to face life’s issues. It also improves productivity and overall quality of life. Sleep hygiene can make all the difference in the way you sleep, and the way you feel.
