Are You Getting Enough Rest? Did You Know There Are Seven Different Types?
We always talk about getting enough sleep. But a new article on Ted.com says there are actually SEVEN different types of rest we need. So are you getting enough of each one? Here are all seven, and what they mean . . .
1. Physical rest, either passive or active. Passive includes sleeping or napping. Active means things like getting a massage, doing yoga, meditating, or just laying around.
2. Mental rest. Letting your brain take a break is important too, especially if you work long hours. Ideally, you should take a mini-break every 20 minutes.
