Sleep is a Superpower

It’s a brand new year, and Kelly is kicking things off with a “superpower” month, focusing on how managing different aspects of our life can vastly improve our day-to-day enjoyment. While we will examine friends, habits and weights in the near future, this week we’re going to focus on something that can take up approximately a third of each day: sleep!

In this first episode of 2019, Kelly lists her 10 top tips for not only falling asleep but staying asleep, ensuring you reach that much-needed REM state and feeling refreshed the next day.

The Finer Details of This Episode:

Tip 1: don’t use an alarm clock unless you really have to.
