Sleep
Quality and sufficient sleep is the second most important thing we can do for our health. Proper breathing is the first. Simply put, sleep is when the magic happens.
Sleep is when the body recovers, repairs, cleanses, memories are moved into long-term storage, and so many more vital processes take place here. Our resilience, immunity and bodily functions as a whole all increase in function when we sleep well.

A good sleep routine can include a very large variety of things, but they all must have similar characteristics. These are things that are calm, predictable, and involve low light and low stimulation. An example of a good sleep routine would be: Dimming the lights in the house, changing into loose-fitting, comfortable clothing, participating in fun or neutral conversation, playing a board game, avoiding screens, brushing teeth, taking a warm bath, getting into bed without a phone or television.
