I share my journey navigating through a particularly trying week and muse over the impact of stress on sleep quality. Much is addressed in this episode, from the science behind sleep deprivation and its health consequences to a transformative story of prioritizing well-being.
Feel cranky? Struggle to shut your mind off after a long day? Caught in brain fog? You might be caught in the vicious cycle of continuous stress leading to sleepless nights. It's time to acknowledge and tackle this issue, break the cycle, and reclaim a naturally energized life.
