The Season's Essentials For Better Rest

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

March is Sleep Awareness Week. The National Sleep Foundation spotlights the symbiotic relationship between sleep, health, and well-being. This is perfect timing given daylight savings, as many people struggle because of the lost hours of sleep. According to the CDC, in 2020, 35% of all adults in the United States experienced short sleep duration (less than seven hours). A lack of sleep can result in decreased focus, apathy, memory, and learning challenges, among other issues. Outside of help from a trusted medical professional, you can get some rest by trying specific lifestyle products that inspire more rest.

Check out some of our favorites, below.
