Sleep cleanses.
Sleep is a really important ingredient for creating a healthy lifestyle.
With proper sleep our body can better manage stress hormones, our metabolism can function normally, our body cleanses itself of things that aren’t good for us and our mind has time to calm and reset.*
Yet, sleep is often overlooked; we sacrifice half an hour of sleep here to get to the gym and half an hour there to finish a chapter of a great book.
Reprioritize Sleep
Well, it’s time to reprioritize and put sleep higher up on your agenda to make sure we’re getting the full 7-9 hours of sleep per night that is recommended for adults by The National Sleep Institute. Improving your relationship with sleep will not only help you, it will also set good examples for your little ones who need sleep even more than adults!

Bedtime sleep habits for children
Most children respond best to consistency as it helps them feel safe and secure. Start at the same time every night at bathtime and choose their favorite pajamas. Ask them what was the best thing that happened today so that they’re drifting off thinking their most positive thoughts.
