The Science of Rest

Rest isn’t laziness—it’s essential for your body and mind. Quality rest supports physical repair, strengthens memory, and helps regulate emotions, so you can perform at your best.

Harness Your Circadian Rhythm

Expose yourself to natural sunlight first thing in the morning. This sets your internal clock, helping your body know when to produce melatonin for restful sleep at night. In the evening, limit blue light from screens to protect this natural rhythm.

Embrace the Power of Naps

Short naps aren’t a sign of weakness—they’re a productivity tool. A 20-minute power nap can boost alertness, improve learning, and enhance focus without leaving you groggy. Use naps strategically to recharge and perform at your peak.

Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes… including you. – Anne Lamott
