The Wellness Way: Importance of Sleep

Sleep is a fundamental aspect of "The Wellness Way." Quality sleep supports physical health, mental clarity, and emotional stability. Adults need 7-9 hours of sleep per night. To improve sleep quality, establish a regular sleep schedule. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends.

Create a bedtime routine to signal your body that it's time to wind down. This might include reading, taking a warm bath, or practicing relaxation techniques. Ensure your sleep environment is conducive to rest: keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet.

Avoid screens before bed, as the blue light can interfere with your sleep cycle. If you struggle with sleep, consider reducing caffeine intake and avoiding heavy meals late at night. Remember, good sleep hygiene is essential for overall well-being.
