In today’s episode, I talk about rest. I refer to both sleep and the broad spectrum of rest, its critical role in our physical and mental recovery, the science behind sleep, and practical tips for nurturing both sleep and rest in our lives.
Rest goes beyond mere inactivity. It's a complex, essential process that supports the body's repair, growth, and strengthening. While resting, our bodies are anything but idle. Cells regenerate, energy is replenished, and damage is repaired. This downtime is vital for emotional processing and memory consolidation too.
Rest encompasses more that sleep, including mental, emotional, and physical stillness. Rest can occur in times of meditation, mindfulness, and during sleep. Each form of rest serves its unique role in maintaining our health and well-being.

I also show off my new TheraSpecs that will give my brain and eyes the rest they need as I learn how to live with chronic migraines and a vestibular disorder. Thanks for the recommendation, Vestibular Disorders Association (VEDA).
