Let's Make 2025 Your Best Sleep Year Yet

Happy 2025, Bedmates!!

Like most people this time of year, I think about all the big changes I intend to make this year or new things I want to try: I’m going to be less stressed out! I’m going to start meditating again! I’m going to read more books! One of my most accomplished New Year’s resolutions I made in the last decade was quitting smoking, which I did cold-turkey on January 2, 2017. Now, please understand….I used to love smoking. I felt like I looked kinda “French-girl, tousled hair, effortless cool with a glass of wine and a cigarette.” Until I realized that was a pathetic, misguided and twisted fantasy. Reflecting now, I’m sure I looked more like a stressed-out New Yorker (still with tousled hair at least?), unhealthy, un-cool, drinking too much wine and smoking too many cigarettes. To think that I smoked nearly a half a pack per day—EEEW! I finally did some “New Year, New You” self-hypnosis (with the help of a flash-mob style company holiday-dinner-turned-intervention, begging me to quit) and finally, I gave it up. The point I’m making is, healthy choices and personal changes are so freaking satisfying when you truly commit to them. And while I am not here to preach, I am here to tell you from personal experience that if you stick to even one big resolution, it’s a life-changer.
