Takeaways:

1- Sleep is vital for our long term health and wellness, but can be disrupted by a wide variety of mental, physical, or emotional factors.

2- The more we stress about not falling asleep, the more adrenaline our body releases—making it even harder to fall asleep.

3- Focusing on breath or relaxation exercises can help combat this and facilitate us easing into a restful night.
