Evolve > Sleep >Deep Sleep Checklist
Deep sleep is the 4th phase of the sleep cycle. It’s the phase when your brain and body is resting, and you’re physically and mentally recovering. During deep sleep, your heart rate is low, muscles are relaxing and brain waves are slow. By getting enough of it every night, you wake up feeling refreshed and happy.
This is a simple checklist for things to keep in mind and follow when you go to sleep, so as to get proper deep sleep.
