⚡️Probably why you’re sluggish, anxious, unfocused, and unproductive 👇🏻👇🏻
😴Did you know it’s estimated that 70% of Americans are sleep deprived?
😴 “How is your sleep?” Is one question I often times will ask my clients.
Try to look at your sleep as a recharge for your busy day the next day.
As a society we truly undervalue sleep, and sleep is critical to our body and immune system. Research shows that sleep deprivation is associated with obesity, heart disease, depression, pain, diabetes and much more.
Let's go back to our brain 🧠 More specifically, a region of the brain called the pineal gland.
The pineal gland is a small gland located within the brain and produces a hormone called melatonin. Melatonin aids in regulating our natural sleep rhythm - or our “biological clock.”
Some research suggests we sleep up to six to eight hours a night for most adults. I believe it is to maximize our fullest potential of the mind and body.
Sleep helps to aid in alertness, regulating stress levels, the production of energy, focus, (I’ll even add better workouts 😅) and to keep our biological sleep rhythm regulated.
