Sleep impacts our health in many ways—cognition, emotions, reaction time, hormones, etc. Adults need 7-9 hours per night. We can do this by going to sleep earlier, napping, and having evening routines. Avoiding tobacco, limiting caffeine, turning off screens 2 hours before bed, exercising, and getting outside daily can help improve sleep. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lauren-stackpole/support
