Sleep is one of the most overlooked and yet one of the most important things we can do to perform our best. Get the right amount of sleep for your body and you wake energized, in a great mood, and ready to take on the day. Sleep impacts our food choices throughout the day, our ability to focus, and help your body recover. Don’t get enough sleep and you see all negative impacts in all the above. There is a reason sleep deprivation was a form of torture. You owe it to yourself (and those around you) to prioritize better sleep habits.
