    As a college student I never got the "study all night" thing. I knew that if I paid attention in class, did my reading and studied my notes and most importantly got a good nights rest, I was going to do great. And I did. Yay me!

  • Sleep is an essential key to healthy aging and living longer. The right amount of good sleep matters since this is how our body recovers from the different activites we've done throughout the day. We need rest every single day or our body will give up. Sleep also affects our mood and mental health, just like how a complete good sleep gives you so much energy for the day and you're ready to take on everything comning your way focused and ready. This ultimately affects the socila relationships you have because better sleep just lifts your overall mood, so there is an increased chance to enjoy every moment with the people around you instead of moping around. Thank you so much for talking about how important sleep is, you remind us of the amazing health and wellness coaches here at Reviving Mind who help older adults live their best lives happy and healthy.

  • Great presentation. I got alot out of this and will be sending to others. I broke my shoulder and didn't get any sleep for around 10 years and I went through hell, spending two three & sometimes four days away. I would say that this is what made me gain 4 stone in weight. I still don't sleep well, but getting better at it. I will take on board what is a great a learning video for me I'm female 64 x
