As we dive deeper into sleep research, it becomes clear that "good" sleep hygiene extends beyond our nightly Sleep cycles. In this article, we'll share a wealth of rest tips that will revolutionize the way you sleep.
Breathe
Try doing the physiological sigh 2-3x a day and see how it sets you up for a better night’s sleep. And right before bed, try mindful breathing with binaural music or use a guided meditation app, like Headspace or Calm.
Drink
Did you know that drinking cherry juice can help you sleep better? According to a study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food, drinking a glass of cherry juice twice a day can help increase sleep time (by ~84 minutes) and improve sleep quality.

Sleep
