We often undervalue the importance of a good night’s sleep. Quality sleep impacts both healing the body and disease prevention. Most adults need 7 to 8 hours per night, but this number can increase for anyone with a chronic condition. 

Questions you might want to consider:

Do I get enough outdoor sunlight each day?
How much am I exposed to artificial light?
