Hey There Reader,
Happy Wednesday.
Recently, my four-month-old baby has decided to sleep regress. This means he has "regressed" to waking up about 3 times during the night, making uninterrupted sleep impossible.
I am tired!
And here's what I've noticed. When I'm sleep-deprived, my body hurts, my mood tanks, and I lose motivation for even my most basic activities.
Sleep is a must, amiga. It is part of rest because it is RESTorative — and rest is part of any healing journey.
Think about when you have a rough night of sleep. How do you feel when you wake up? How is your mood and energy level?
Now think about when you have a great night of sleep. Answer the same questions. How do you feel when you wake up? How is your mood and energy?
I encourage you to reflect on these questions the moment you wake up, in the middle of your day, and right before you go to bed. Try it for the next 3 days and see what you learn about yourself.
Trust me, sleep affects you emotionally, energetically and of course physiologically whether you are aware of it or not.
Your body and mind will thank you. Sleep is not a luxury, Reader — it is medicine. And you deserve to take it.
