Sleep Hygiene: Building Better Nights for Brighter Days

Do you feel constantly exhausted, even after a full night’s sleep? Do you lie awake with racing thoughts, or wake up multiple times throughout the night without knowing why? You’re not alone—and the problem might not be how much sleep you're getting, but how well you're sleeping.

In this week’s episode of Designed 4 More, we explore the essential and often-overlooked topic of Sleep Hygiene—the foundation of healthy, restorative rest. We’re breaking down the core habits, routines, and environmental cues that support quality sleep and total well-being in the mind, body, spirit, and relationships.

Sleep isn’t just physical—it’s neurological,emotional, and spiritual.
