Sleep impacts everything. In addition to being a foundational aspect of our wellbeing, it also underpins how we bring our best selves to the world. In essence, it contributes to our thriving and flourishing. And yet, we can so easily shortchange it with bad habits or in order to achieve more or do more. In her new book, Better Daily Sleep Habits: Simple Changes with Lifelong Impact, Renata Alexandre explores how to cultivate and safeguard great sleep in order to live a well and happy life.
In our conversation ahead we talk about:
- Sleep hygiene and sleep schedules
- Creating a good sleep environment
- Bedtime rituals
- Managing stress
I believe a good night’s sleep is something we all deserve… and I also think it’s how we access our happiest, wisest, most patient selves.
