Sleep is foundational. You can eat perfectly, exercise every day, but if your sleep is poor, it impacts your hormones, your moods, your metabolism, immune function, all the way to memory. –Tricia Reilly Koch
What helps when I'm feeling anxious is to write down the things that are top of mind at night, and then physically put it down and say, “I'll get to you tomorrow morning.” –Tricia Reilly Koch
Learning to rest is about learning not to put yourself in overdrive. Then the body says, “it's okay for me to rest, and now I can sleep,” because it takes energy to sleep, and if you’re exhausted, you can't sleep. –Tricia Reilly Koch
