Sleep is called the master healer throughout the book. Without consistent sleep, the body cannot repair tissue, regulate hormones, or restore emotional balance. Chronic pain often disrupts sleep, and poor sleep amplifies pain. This creates a cycle that must be broken for true healing to occur.

Good sleep hygiene begins with small but consistent habits. Creating a predictable sleep routine, reducing evening stimulation, and protecting the mind from late night stress significantly improves sleep quality. When sleep stabilizes, people notice better concentration, stronger emotions, and reduced physical sensitivity.

A rested mind is more capable of handling discomfort, and a rested body is better equipped to respond to treatment. Sleep restores the foundation on which all the other pillars depend. It renews energy, enhances clarity, and strengthens motivation. When sleep improves, every aspect of healing becomes more accessible.
