(Answer at the end of the issue.)
Actionable wisdom:
“When it comes to sleep, can you have too much of a good thing? It's true a good night's sleep is essential for health. But oversleeping has been linked to a host of medical problems, including diabetes, heart disease, and increased risk of death.”
😴 There’s no denying that sleep is one of the greatest things ever (it’s a shame we’re not conscious to enjoy it, eh?). But WebMD cautions that getting too much sleep can lead to serious health risks. (And they offer plenty of ideas for getting your sleep back in balance, if it turns out you’re getting a little too cozy with your mattress.)
This week’s cool thing:
📱 With the vast number of sleep apps available, how do you know which one to choose? The American Sleep Association helps make the decision easier with their review of the top 7 insomnia apps, breaking down the benefits and cost of each.
Side note:

💡Answer: As long as your naps are kept short — around 20 or 30 minutes — they’re a fantastic way to revitalize midday without causing sleep loss at night. In fact, we’re naturally wired for naps: your body automatically secretes a burst of melatonin every afternoon to help lull you to sleep (hence your post-lunch energy dip).
