Why Longer Summer Days May Require More Rest

Long summer evenings make it tempting to stay up, but getting enough rest can help you make the most of a day full of energy and curiosity. Find out how sleep relates to your goals.

More daylight and longer evenings can tempt us to put off winding down for the night. At the same time, summer brings more activities, get-togethers, and new experiences that we want to be present for. That’s the interesting paradox: we may be awake for longer, but our need for rest doesn’t go away. This blog explores how to strike a balance between making the most of long days and getting the sleep that can support focus, perseverance, and curiosity.
