Welcome to Everyday Better’s 2025 Reset Series! We're kicking off the year with a month’s worth of conversations designed to help you reset for the year ahead.
In the second episode of our series, Leah dives deep into the power of sleep with Dr. Rebecca Robbins, a Harvard Medical School sleep scientist. In a world that prioritizes productivity over well-being, sleep often takes a backseat. But what if making sleep a priority could actually help you achieve your goals faster?
“It's hard to think of what can't change when we're well-rested,” says Dr. Robbins. “When we can prioritize sleep, we're more compassionate, we're more mindful, we make better decisions, we're less emotionally reactive, we make more ethical decisions. So many things are turned in a positive direction when we can make sleep a priority."
Each week on Everyday Better, you’ll learn about research-backed techniques for improving your mental, physical, work and relational well-being.
