We often focus on doing more—more workouts, more supplements, more productivity—but forget that real health comes from recovery. And recovery starts with rest.

When you sleep, your body isn’t inactive. It’s working behind the scenes to heal. Muscles rebuild. Hormones rebalance. Your immune system strengthens. And your brain organizes thoughts, memories, and emotions from the day.

If you’re feeling drained, foggy, or irritable, don’t rush to fix it with more caffeine or motivation hacks. Ask yourself how well you’re sleeping. The difference between struggling through the day and moving with ease often begins the night before.

Start small: turn off screens earlier. Let your room be quiet and cool. Create a bedtime you actually look forward to. It doesn’t have to be perfect—just consistent.

Your body wants to heal. You just have to give it the space and time.
