And the topic couldnt feel more important or timely: An estimated50 to 70 million Americanshave ongoing sleep concerns.
And1 in 3 Americansdo not get the recommended amount of uninterrupted sleep per night to protect their health.
We learned so much during the summitand it wouldnt be right to keep all those insights to ourselves.
Of course, buying a new mattress can feel like a big commitment.
(Most folks dont make this decision casually!
And understandably so!)
But take insights fromone study1fromThe Journal of Chiropractic Medicinewhich looked into sleep differences between old versus new mattresses.
So perhaps shopping for a new mattress might be in order!
The mattress features 5 support zones designed for optimal comfort and full-body alignment.
Yoga Nidra is a throw in of yoga practice and relaxation technique.
Alyssa advised us to viewYoga Nidra as a way to get into the mental headspace for sleep.
As a result of the meditation, you might fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer says Alyssa.
Alyssa encouraged us to imagine a ball of light moving throughout our body.
We were joined by neuropsychologistJudy Ho, PhD.
and performance optimization expertTodd Anderson, two emerging thought leaders in the world of sleep and well-being.
They both agreed that we need to address our own mindsets and perceptions around sleep.
There is such a hustle culture still.
I think people still have a stigma around self care, and certain beliefs about it.
Its still viewed as a luxury that you have to deserve.
And we can hopefully challenge this cultural narrative by changing our internal mindsets.
It comes from the feeling of wanting to be successful, push, and be extraordinary.
But to get to do that, you have to be your best self.
And when youre not taking care of yourselfespecially with sleepyoure not able to do that.
Despite its importance, the research overwhelmingly shows that sleep is not a priority for most folks.
Utilize meditative, calming practices to help you get to rest at the end of a long day.
And get a mattress that supports you on your sleep journey, likeSerta Perfect Sleeper X.
