Gift of Sleep

When we extend our day into what should be sleeping hours, we deprive our body of some very important work that it wants (and is wired) to do. During the night, our body needs the opportunity to

*renew and reenergize cells,

*fight infection,

*clear waste from the brain,

*relax muscles,

*restore energy,

*reduce stress hormones, and

*decrease blood pressure.

Give yourself the gift of not compromising in this area and consciously setting limits on your to-do list, stopping in time to get your body into a restful and relaxed state to let it begin its faithful work. 😴🌛🌔🛀
