As The Sleep Ambassador®, I search for information that will inspire people to prioritize their sleep and provide them with strategies to improve their sleep sustainably. The Sleep Better Naturally Series sponsored by Rhinomed, a wearable nasal technology company dedicated to improving sleep through better breathing, is outstanding. This is the third of the Sleep Better Naturally series that I am sharing with the Thrive Global community.

Each day I rise in the morning. Over the past year and a half of the pandemic, far too many arise each day having to rise in the mourning, most poignantly to the reality of the loss of a loved one. Millions around the globe have died, raising the world’s grief level to profound and extraordinary heights. Yet, loss has always been integral to the human experience. I imagine I am not alone in seeking ways to continue to rise amidst the extraordinary loss of life, of ways of life, of hope.

Sleep is often seen as a luxury rather than a necessity in today’s fast-paced world. Not only are we plugged in 24/7, we’re driven by deadlines and a fear of missing out so there’s always something better or more urgent that needs doing. But getting a good night’s sleep can make all the difference to our day-to-day lives. It can have a tremendous impact on our performance at work, school, or gym. It also affects how we interact with those around us.
