We've all heard about the importance of rest. And yet, many (or maybe even most) of us feel like we struggle to get enough of it. Most people think rest synonymous with sleep. In fact, they serve somewhat different functions - both incredibly important to our overall functioning.
While both rest and sleep support your mental, emotional and physical health, rest also soothes, calms and regulates your nervous system. Whereas sleep gives your body (and brain) time to repair itself.
Learning how to incorporate more rest into your already busy schedule is key to better mental health, increased concentration and memory, a healthier immune system, and reduced stress.
In this episode, Kim & Louise are joined by Kaley Medina. Kaley is a Certified Sleep Consultant in Dallas, TX helping babies and families get the rest they need by using gentle sleep training methods. They dive into what creates rest and how to encourage sleep, even when those zzz's feel elusive.
