I fell asleep at concerts by Zakir Hussain and Pearl Jam, which made me realize how sleep-deprived I was. Today I'm sharing signs you need more rest and practical ways to improve your sleep quality.

• Not feeling refreshed in the morning despite sleeping eight hours
• Diminished mental sharpness and focus
• Powering through activities but crashing immediately when you stop
• Schedule transition time between activities and treat it as sacred
• Discharge stress physically through exercise, walks, or showers after work
• Disconnect from electronic devices before bedtime
• Only go to bed when truly sleepy and get up if you can't fall asleep in 20 minutes
• Use your bed only for sleep to create strong mental associations
• Be mindful of caffeine's domino effect on sleep quality
• Give yourself permission to rest as a form of essential self-care
