SLEEP
Hi friends,
For those of you who asked, here is the information I received about sleep from my request on instagram! It was really fun to hear all of the different responses!
I have had success trying some of these myself. I am attaching some links as well that have given me some good information about sleep for my personal research! Let me know what ends up being helpful!
I have added and provided links to a bunch of the things that have helped me, or things I have found when studying! Click away!
