How Well Do You Sleep?

Are you low on energy?  Hard to focus throughout the day? Many chronic illnesses can be attributed to poor sleep. More serious diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, are thought to be directly related to not achieving sufficient recovery during the sleep cycle. Each phase of our day is intimately interconnected with the others. What you do or don’t do during the waking hours will definitely affect the quality of the sleep time. Then the quality of the sleep affects your energy and outlook going into the next day.  This can make a never ending cycle that continues until you decide to make it change.

A good night’s rest is earned, by what eat, what you think about and what types of physical activity is executed throughout the day.
