I've always had a complicated relationship with rest too, Ellie. Even seeing sleep as a means to serving my productivity and doing-ness rather than an essential, healing and restorative state. So much unlearning! Why is it so hard? xo
I think maybe I’m on the other end of the spectrum, I LOVE rest and prioritise it, but do I actually ever feel wholly rested? Nope 😅 maybe I need to look at building in other types of rest than just laying on the sofa/in my bed 😴🙈💕
Oh that’s interesting, very possibly! Sleep hygiene is a very real thing too, I know a lot of people love the whoop wrist thing to tell them about their sleep quality?!
I’ve got no idea what my sleep quality is 😅🙈 but I’m probably trying to cram to many ‘to do’s’ into my day and then think a good nights sleep will make up for it 😅🙈🙃

It’s great isn’t it? I’d also recommend Suzy Reading’s 8 Pillars of Rest too. X
