Let’s think about our sleep.
Jordan Stern, an M.D. and founder of Blue Sleep, has written
this helpful piece about how healthy sleep and a healthy lifestyle are interconnected. Stern stresses the importance of building in time away from all technology during the day. Neither he nor his wife look at emails after 8:00 p.m. He uses dim light to read a paper book – rather than an e-reader – before the lights go out, and he writes about how good quality sleep can help with mood disorders. Not only that, but a 10- or 20-minute nap during the day can help to improve our health and reduce the risk of heart disease.
