Sleep is your built-in non-negotiable life support system. It's free. It's accessible. Its effects are profound on your physical, mental and emotional health, and you cannot hear that often enough.This week, we revisited sleep, as we often do. And I do not believe (and I know a lot about sleep), but I don't think you can talk about it often enough because it's like tapping a hoop along.
