I’ve got a BIG wake-up call for you today — about SLEEP
Did you know that if you don’t get enough sleep, your risk for heart disease and heart attack goes up…
… no matter your age, your weight, how much you exercise, or whether you smoke?!!!
Plus, not getting enough sleep is linked with:
Cognitive decline & dementia
Depression
Obesity
I know I talk about sleep a lot, but the fact is…
One of the BEST things you can do for yourself — mind, body, and spirit! — is set yourself for a good night of sleep every night.
You’ll recover from your workouts better… have a lot more energy the next day… you’ll make better decisions… you’ll be more focused… and you’ll be able to perform at your very best.
And getting enough sleep can help:
Boost your immune system and mood,
Improve brain function,
Lower your risk of chronic diseases
Here are a few great ways to boost your sleep:
Get fresh air and sunshine during the day
Work out or squeeze in some activity early in the day
Make sure you go to bed early enough so you can get 7+ hours of sleep
Don’t drink coffee or other caffeinated drinks after lunch
Limit (or avoid!) alcohol
Don’t eat heavy foods before bed
Create a nighttime wind-down routine to let your body know when it’s time to go to sleep.
Dim your screens at night or use a blue light filter
Use app-blocking tools to avoid late-night scrolling on your phone
And maybe, most importantly, really listen to your body.
When you have a GREAT night of sleep, notice what helped you make it happen… and do more of that!
