Sleep is one of the most significant lifestyle factors influencing our health and well-being, yet it’s one of the first things we compromise when life is busy. Or when there’s something fun to do or watch or read. Or when we have a big project and looming deadline.   While sleep is too often taken for granted, its role in our lives cannot be underestimated, as too little or poor quality of it can negatively affect us physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. The opposite is also true: When we prioritize sleep and make it a nonnegotiable health habit, it can help us look, feel, and function at our best.   Find the episode highlights, get related resources and view the transcript for this episode at https://experiencelife.lifetime.life/podcast/why-we-need-sleep   Have thoughts you’d like to share or topic ideas for future episodes?
