Let’s get real: If you’re a woman over 40, Mondays can feel like the emotional equivalent of stepping onto a treadmill that’s already set to sprint. Your to-do list is long, emails keep multiplying, your phone buzzes before you’ve even had your first sip of coffee, and you may still have one foot in “weekend…
An ideal Sunday reset might look like spotless kitchens and women effortlessly gliding through their homes in matching athleisure sets.

If you’re anything like most women I know, myself included, the search for better sleep can sometimes feel like a quest for the Holy Grail.
