Sleep experts advocate an average of 7 hours of sleep, and quality sleep, where one wakes up feeling refreshed is the best. If you have difficulty sleeping, try a glass of warm milk and pistachios before bed =) Another mind restorative activity is mindful meditation. Slow down, be conscious of your breathing and empty your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having strong social connections reduces risk of anxiety and depression, increases gene expression for immunity (as per study by Steve Cole, UCLA), increases self-esteem and creates a positive feedback loop of social, emotional and physical well-being.
