"The change in season brings with it a change in routine: back-to-work and back-to-school alarms, busy commutes, and mounting workloads that can quietly sabotage one of our most vital pillars of health-our sleep. Sleep disturbances surge during times of transition, and this doesn't just make us tired-it influences our focus, mood, next-day performance, and our actual physiology. The good news is that one simple science-backed breathing method can help reset your nervous system and unlock deeper, more restorative sleep."
"Sleep serves as the cornerstone of recovery and well-being-more fundamental than nutrition, exercise, or therapy. Poor sleep undermines nearly every skill critical to professional success. Research reveals that sleep deprivation impairs memory consolidation, learning, emotional regulation, focus, decision-making, and immune function. Reaction times slow, mood deteriorates, and irritability increases. Simultaneously, testosterone drops while cortisol spikes, trapping the body in chronic low-grade stress."
As summer ends and daylight shortens, routine changes such as back-to-work alarms and longer commutes increase sleep disturbances. Sleep disruption impairs focus, mood, next-day performance, and physiology. Sleep is the cornerstone of recovery and well-being, more fundamental than nutrition, exercise, or therapy, and poor sleep undermines memory consolidation, learning, emotional regulation, decision-making, and immune function. Sleep cycles repeat every 90 minutes with early-night deep sleep for physical repair and morning REM for emotional regulation and creativity. Night-shift work disrupts circadian rhythms and carries serious health risks. One simple science-backed breathing method can reset the nervous system and promote deeper restorative sleep.
