There it was, emblazoned all over the sleep store on the corner by the Pilates studio I frequent. “Unjunk Your Sleep,” said the big, bold signs filling the windows of the fancy mattress store.
Makes perfect sense when it comes to your sleep habits, doesn’t it?
Get this: 92% of your body’s healing takes place during sleep while you’re resting.
That’s why it’s essential to pay attention to what you’re feeding yourself mentally before hitting the pillows after the sun sets.
You might be like me and have a split personality surfacing right before bed. After busy days, I like to give myself full reign on Netflix but taking in strong fare disrupts my REM’s.
