We explore the art of winding down with activities that prepare your body and mind for rest, such as reading and meditation. Discover why becoming slightly bored before bed can be a game-changer. We'll also tackle the less obvious culprits of poor sleep, like alcohol's interference with REM cycles, and discuss how strategic exercise timing can enhance sleep without hindering your ability to drift into slumber.Finally, we highlight sleep's profound impact on athletic performance and overall health.
