Most people know that sleep is important, but if you knew HOW important, you probably wouldn’t choose to sacrifice that time or compromise your sleep as often as you do. Sleep is a big part of our body’s recovery and regulation, and a major player in the energy and flow of daily tasks. By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to determine if you’re getting good sleep and have a list of action steps to improve it.
