Sleep. Ahh, glorious sleep. It’s when our body heals and recovers from the demands and stressors of our daily life. If you are getting adequate sleep of good quality, you can check one of the boxes on the “ways to optimize your health” checklist. But so many people struggle to get enough quality sleep, and suffer the consequences in terms of fatigue, chronic pain or illness, and low mood.
According to an MRI study done by Sexton in 2014, getting less than 7 hours of sleep per night impedes thinking and learning, and can actually DECREASE brain size!
