It was the fall of 2016. I woke up on a Monday morning feeling refreshed and filled with energy for the first time in my life. This is not an exaggeration 👆 I distinctly remember growing up and trying to sleep every night. Closing my eyes, and then staying up in the darkness of my mind every night. The next thing I knew, I would hear my parent's alarm go off and it was morning time! When I look back at those times. I feel sadness for the younger version of myself. Because it all makes sense. Sleep is the bedrock layer of health. Without sleep, your biochemistry doesn’t function properly, even your memory, mood, focus, are all heavily impacted.
