Sleep is something that is so essential to our health and our well-being; however, we might all be guilty of taking it for granted.

Do you have trouble sleeping? Is it becoming increasingly difficult for you to stay healthy because you are too sleep-deprived? Do you want to set your sleeping habits on the right track and finally live a healthy and empowered life?

One should be intentional in making it happen in order for this to work

In this episode of my Hungry for More series, I talk about how sleep should not be looked down upon as it is something that greatly contributes to our health and mental well-being. Practicing “all-nighters” and grinding without proper sleep or rest are lifestyles we should learn how to stop and be more aware of how this could affect us in the long run. I’ll be sharing with you some facts on why depriving yourself of sleep is a big no and how you can practice your mind and body to avoid these occurrences. 


Highlights:

  • How is sleep a nutrient and how it can make or break your health now and in the long run
  • Hormones that you need to know about and how do they contribute to sleep and your health:
  • Why is sleep architecture important and crucial in getting a good night's sleep?
  • Find out strategies and techniques that could help you sleep at the right time or overcome insomnia
  • Learn about the linkage between sleep and mood, and sleep and cognition
