Our bodies have a natural sleep regulator called melatonin, and while supplements are available, you can actually boost your melatonin levels through your diet. It’s about understanding how food impacts your sleep-wake cycle and making choices that support a naturally restful night.
Ever hit snooze one too many times, finally drag yourself out of bed, and feel… worse than when you went to sleep? That foggy, disoriented feeling is sleep inertia, and it’s surprisingly common. It’s not just about being tired; it’s a real physiological state your brain goes through when waking up.
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is often described as the ability to understand and manage your own emotions, and to recognize and influence the emotions of others. It’s not about being overly sensitive; it’s about being aware. Think of it as having a finely tuned emotional radar.
