Stress-buster of the week
|
Sleep is so important - we can't stress that enough! Not getting enough quality sleep can lead to lowered brain function and short-term memory loss, among others. Many people think sleeping is just about physically getting into bed and closing your eyes, but it's more than that. It should also begin two hours before you fall asleep, so your body and brain can wind down and prepare for rest. This week's stressbuster tip is to wind down two hours (or at least an hour) before you sleep. Check out our website for more information on how to get better sleep. You can also sign up for our Refresh Sleep program here - but hurry because today is the LAST DAY for registration!
