OPEN ME: Hey guys! I wanted to share some of my favourite sleep promoting tips with you! A peaceful bedtime routine sends a powerful signal to your brain that it’s time to relax and let go of the day’s stresses. Sometimes even the tiniest changes in your lifestyle can make a huge difference to your quality of sleep! Impaired sleep can weaken your immune system, accelerate tumor growth, impair your mood and memory, lead to weight gain, raise your risk for heart disease, etc.. so rest is incredibly important for the health of our bodies and minds. I hope you find these tips helpful!! I hope you all have the sweetest dreams ever!! :)
