QUOTES:

“In many ways, I feel like sleep is a window…into sort of the most vulnerable aspects of our…existence.”

“When you’re well slept, you’re a happier person. You’re healthier. You’re a better communicator. You’re less prone to conflict. You’re less prone to the development of mood disorders like depression and anxiety. And that plays a big role in the health of your relationship.”
