So many activities, so little time. Festive FOMO (fear of missing out) leads to late nights, early mornings and packed days in between. Downtime and adequate sleep are essential during busy winter seasons.
According to several studies by the National Sleep Foundation, lack of rest lowers our body’s defense systems, increasing the likelihood of a winter cold or flu. Establish one day each week throughout the holidays for quality R&R, and don’t be afraid to say “no” when the next opportunity or invitation comes along.
