For years, Patty Schmidt believed she was doing everything right. She went to bed by 10 p.m., woke up at 6 a.m., avoided coffee after lunch, and stayed off screens before bed. Yet most mornings she woke up exhausted.
“I thought I was disciplined about sleep, but my body told a different story,” said Schmidt. “I would wake up groggy, push through the day, and crash again by midafternoon.”
