🛌💤 Did you know — you can “bank” sleep?
Research shows that getting extra sleep before a busy or stressful period — like work deadlines, travel, or holiday chaos — can help your mind stay sharp and your body better cope when sleep is short. It’s called sleep banking, and it works like giving your brain a little “backup reserve.”
✅ Want to try it? Here are a few simple tips:
• Add an extra 60–90 minutes of sleep a few nights before a demanding day or week.
• Use short naps (20–30 minutes) during busy days if your nighttime sleep ends up shorter.
• Keep good sleep habits: go to bed and wake up at consistent times, keep your bedroom cool and dark, and avoid screens or heavy meals near bedtime.
Whether you're prepping for holiday plans, travel, or a packed schedule, a little “sleep saving” can help you feel more balanced and ready.
Sweet dreams — and smarter sleep! 😴✨
Some people invest in the strategy of sleep banking to get some extra shut-eye ahead of time if they expect to be sleep-deprived later.
