Many envy those who sleep easily, while the sleep-deprived can only dream of a full night of rest. If you’re looking to wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day, there’s a simple fix that can help you achieve deeper, more restorative sleep. For some, sleep is merely a means to reach the next day, while others view it as a cherished daily retreat. Regardless of perspective, sleep is essential to our well-being. It’s not just about the number of hours spent in bed, but the quality of that sleep and how effective it is in rejuvenating both body and mind. Experts recommend that adults aim for seven to nine hours of sleep each night. Lack of quality sleep has been linked to long-term health issues, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and depression.

This privilege comes from the sacrifices made by those who fought for the freedoms enjoyed today, including athletes who paused their lives and education to serve in wars.
