SLEEP: The Best Kept Secret
Sleep is an amazing tool. It not only helps with our cognitive functions but also impacts our happiness levels. Which in turn helps us think outside of the box and provides access to deep insights. And when we're deprived of it...you know how it can feel... It can make us moody, more hungry, tired, on edge and has a way of bringing out aches and pains we didn't even know we had :).
With the current pandemic and political intensity, I’ve heard a reoccurring theme around not sleeping well from friends and family. I myself experienced some extra tough weeks in May and June when we were in the middle of moving during this pandemic and my husband had to have impromptu hand surgery two days before our scheduled move date. Not an ideal situation. But then again, nothing since March seems to have been an ideal situation. :)
There's a lot happening. There's a lot to take in. There's a lot to process.
Therefore, sleep is more important than ever. And let me clear, when I say sleep—I don't mean lay in bed all day with the covers over our head, being depressed kind of sleep. I mean ~7.5 hours of good, deep sleep that leaves you feeling rejuvenated, grounded and nourished to face a new day.
Over the years, I've cultivated some effective holistic remedies that I keep stashed away in my Selfcare Toolbox. Tips, tricks and tools that I've come appreciate and rely on myself and love sharing with friends and family. So, without further ado, let's work our way to some sweet dreams!
