No matter how good (or bad) you'd describe your health, one thing is for sure: a little boost is ALWAYS a good idea. Whether that's reading a new, motivating book, or listening to a song that speaks to your soul, there are plenty of resources to help your health thrive on any given day.
Every morning, when I walk out of my bedroom, I am greeted with a "good morning, how'd you sleep?" by my roommate. This has been the case for as long as I can remember, though the person asking the question has changed multiple times. Unfortunately, like 27 percent of Americans, my answer is often "not great." Thankfully, there are plenty of people who have studied this problem and have tips, tricks, and answers for me and my fellow sleep-deprived friends.
Each week, we're bringing you the best resources and influencers to give you a health boost. Here's what we're following this week regarding good sleeping habits.
