\"RestonicWhen it comes to sleep, we all want to feel well-rested and rejuvenated in the morning. Not exhausted and drained and craving a nap. Sleep is an event \u2013 not a task \u2013 and it takes some prioritizing to ensure success. Are you prioritizing sleep? How often do you get the healthy, restorative sleep you need?<\/p>\n

The pandemic\u2019s effects on sleep have been significantly harder on women between the ages of 18 and 29, of whom 42% reported worse sleep quality, and on women between ages 45 and 60 of whom 35% reported worse sleep quality.<\/p>\n
