The importance of sleep, exercise, stretching and meditation – Emily Kos
I’m sure we have all felt what it feels like to wake up the morning after having a really late night, not great right? That feeling of being drained, not being able to focus properly and if I’m honest, quite moody. The importance of a good night sleep for your overall wellbeing is so underrated. Especially since we live in a consistently on-the-go society where sleep is always overlooked. How can you expect to perform at your best if you are constantly impaired? A good night’s sleep is linked to an improved immune function, higher productivity, a decrease of heart disease and stroke and so many more crucial benefits.
Why is it important?
Exercise, stretching and meditation have so many physical benefits but also a lot of mental benefits to. When I’m feeling overwhelmed, I find 20 minutes of meditation gives me a clear head to reassess what’s going on and make a plan of attack. Overall I recommend after reading this setting aside time during the week to give yourself some YOU time. Whether its going for a walk or run, taking up yoga or just getting some extra sleep. The science evidence behind how beneficial it is for you speaks for itself!
