 Now, if you weren’t already aware, March is designated as National Sleep Awareness Month (also important to note it’s Women’s History Month). So… you already know SleepSwag had to come out with a new blog! Sometime this month, I want you—yes, you! Our wonderful reader(s)!—to really reflect on your sleep habits this month.
