Did you know the right kind of play can be as effective as a sleep aid? Studies reveal that engaging in 20-30 minutes of moderate, joyful activity during the day—like playful movement or group games—not only releases stress but also regulates our circadian rhythm, which helps signal the brain for deeper, more restorative sleep. And with better sleep comes greater focus, creativity, and resilience. Let's dive into sharing some simple, fun ways to incorporate play for your healthier, happier sleep cycle!
