We're half way through the week and that means you're about to learn the #3 way to maintain your brain! So far you've challenged your brain, and learned some new stress management techniques, and now it's time to REST your brain!
SLEEP & REST
As I mentioned earlier this week, this is not a topic I know much about. Although, I did sleep in today instead of waking up at 3:30am to workout. I woke up at my normal time of 4:15am.
Yes, you read that right. And I hate naps. Hate them. I feel like I wake up feeling so much more tired than before I went down for one. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree - all 3 of my kids stopped napping for us around 1 year of age. And only 1 of the 3 likes to sleep in ;)
BUT, don't follow my example on this. You NEED to rest and sleep. I NEED to learn how to do more of it. It's good for your brain. Don't believe me? Check out some of these fun articles!
