    5. Quotes:

    “Our brain typically restore overnight. If we're not getting enough sleep, we're really reducing our ability to be able to function in our day to day and to be able to have that stress resiliency that we're all working towards.” - Jessi Michel Agadoni

    “As a Sensitive, getting 8 to 11 hours of sleep is the first thing that you can start working on if you feel overwhelmed with where to start on your healing journey.” Jessi Michel Agadoni

    “Waking up through out the night could be tied to a cortisol spike as a result of stress, and anxiety about the day. It’s important to take all these factors into consideration. There's always the energetic piece, the emotional piece, the physical piece, and we need to consider all of them.” - Jessi Michel Agadoni
