WELLthier | by Sylvia Galelli
Your level WELLth is within your control . also disrupts our circadian rhythm ( defined as the natural cycle of physical changes that the body goes through in a 24-hour cycle ). A disrupted circadian rhythm is a MAJOR health withdrawal ! Our bodies are designed to thrive in harmony with nature - early to rise with the sun , early to bed as natural light fades . Modern life allows us to work around the clock , disrupting our physiology .
To make matters even more challenging in the sleep department , chronic sleep deprivation and disrupted circadian rhythm are compounded by overstimulation . We are surrounded by it . Can you relate ? Constant smart phone notifications , social media - too much of too much . This creates the perfect storm for chronic sleep issues , such as too little sleep , poor quality sleep , or both !
So how do we fix it ? Value your sleep !
When you realize how profoundly sleep affects performance and wellbeing , you are more likely to value sleep . When you value sleep , you are more likely to choose sleep over late night catching up on emails or social media .
