Sleep is the ultimate reset. We’re told to sleep on important decisions, to get a good night’s sleep to stomp out an oncoming sickness, that “it’ll all be better in the morning”. We’ve all had those days where we’ve worked our tails off and climb into bed for a restful night’s sleep only to realize it’s 11:30 am and we have 106 unanswered emails. Every day in the office we see how that ultimate reset doesn’t always work and leaves people groggy, unfocused, in pain, and chronically ill.
There are habits we can get into before, during, and after a night’s sleep that will help us wake up pain-free, refreshed, and ready to take charge of the day.
Neck pain is in every household and workplace in America. Yes, neck pain is more common as we age and our neck muscles weaken, but our society is stuck in a bunch of bad habits that cause neck pain to run rampant. Poor posture, sitting for extended periods, tech neck, not exercising or stretching, and sleeping poorly are all reasons that we deal with neck pain on a daily basis.
