Sleep helps with beauty, but it’s doing way more behind the scenes.

When you’re not sleeping well, you’re not just tired. You’re moody, unmotivated, and not fully you. Sleep affects everything from your mood and memory to your body’s ability to heal and stay healthy.

Dr. Dominika Swistun, a clinical psychologist and sleep specialist (and Dr. Luke Swistun’s wife), shares why good sleep is non-negotiable and how to actually get it.

She breaks down why being mentally and physically active during the day matters, why your nighttime routine can make or break your rest, and how stress and hormones mess with your sleep without you even realizing it.

From sleep apnea to poor habits, she explains the common issues that steal your rest—and how to get it back.
