💤 KEYS TO OPTIMAL ENERGY: SLEEP 💤
Because your best energy starts when you’re unconscious.
1️⃣ Why Sleep Isn’t Optional
Your body repairs, recharges, and rebuilds while you rest.
💡 During deep (non-REM) sleep, your brain flushes toxins through the glymphatic system—your built-in “nightly detox.”
When that process is cut short, you wake up foggy, moody, and running on low battery.
2️⃣ When Sleep Fails, Energy Follows
🚫 Mitochondria don’t fully recharge
🚫 Cortisol & insulin spike → stress + cravings
🚫 Brain fog, irritability, low mood
🚫 Long-term: higher blood pressure & inflammation
3️⃣ The Energy-Builder Sleep Routine
✅ Keep a rhythm – same bedtime & wake time daily
✅ Power down early – no screens 60 min before bed
✅ Cool + dark = deep sleep – 65-68°F, blackout curtains, quiet
✅ Ditch afternoon caffeine – your brain will thank you
✅ Recover your sleep debt – consistent nights rebuild reserves
💥 Your Action Plan Tonight:
Set an alarm for “wind-down hour.” Dim lights, stretch, breathe, or read.
Repeat for 7 nights and notice your energy transform.
