that's creeping up on you. So why is sleep such
a game changer for your morning routine? You ask, Well,

scroll through Instagram until three am. I get it, We're
all guilty of it sometimes, but that blue light from
your phone can seriously mess with your sleep hormones. Aim
to put away those devices at least an hour before
bedtime and create a relaxing wind down routine instead. Three.
Embrace the calm before hitting the hay. Engage in activities
that calm your mind and body. Think warm baths, reading
a good book, or gentle stretches. Avoid stressful activities like
work or intense workouts right before bed. Your brain needs
time to unwind. Four. Sleep sanctuary. Make your bedroom a
haven for slumber. Keep it cool, dark and quiet. Invest
in blackout curtains, earplugs, or a white noise machine if needed.

on sleep because you had too much to do. Maybe
you pulled an all night or cramming for a test,
or stayed up late finishing that project. You probably felt
okay at first, but then by afternoon that energy crash
hit hard. Right Your productivity plummeted, your focus went out
the window, and you probably even made a few decisions
you regretted later on sound familiar. Yeah, I've been there too,

run a marathon on an empty tank. You might make
it to the finish line, but you won't be giving
your best performance. So, my friend, let's make a pact
to prioritize sleep. Start small by setting realistic goals and
