In what is quite possibly the most important holiday purity tip that impacts our physical and emotional health the most, getting proper rest probably tops the list. During sleep the brain performs so many incredibly helpful functions that we’re not even aware of including: reinforcing the immune system, resetting stress to zero, repairing the body physically, and even correcting traumatic moments that have occurred. That’s amazing!

So remember during the holidays the importance of rest. Even when you’re tempted to stay up late into the night with friends and family (or write an Instagram post like I’m doing right now), make sure you’re getting 7-9 hours of sleep. Your brain, your body, and your recovery will thank you!
