As a psychologist, counselor, or sleep therapist, what are some barriers to achieving rest, and why is it so critical to overcome? Looking to learn about the various types of rest, why rest is important, and what gets in the way of rest.

Rest is more than just sleep! Emotional, cognitive and physical rest are just a few! When we learn how to identify our system and navigate arousal (think - input coming in) we can optimize how the whole system works. Now sleep gets the most attention! One reason is because when we sleep, our brain activates a type of vacuum cleaner, that literally vacuums debri and creates space for new information. So so important!
