It’s easier for us to focus on the active parts of our fitness journey like working out, eating healthy, and drinking enough water. All things that we can control in our awake state, but what about the crucial inactive state where so many essential functions are restored. In this episode I explore what happens to your body from lack of sleep and how sleep can be the difference between hitting your goals and staying in a plateau.
Learn why caffine, alcohol, nicotine and screen time affect your sleep check out my article in Brainz magazine:

Manifest Challenge:
The Manifest Challenge is an action step that helps you progress in your health and fitness journey. This episode’s challenge is to create a list of the great habits you’re already doing that promote quality sleep and on the other side of the paper write down habits that need your attention because they are preventing you from getting quality sleep. Once you have your list, pick one habit from your “needs attention” side and focus on mastering it.
