“Pandemic insomnia” is on the rise…and there’s nothing more important than getting a good night’s rest.

But physical sleep is just one part of the equation.

A new article on Ted.com suggests there are seven different types of rest we need:

Physical rest, either passive or active  Passive includes sleeping or napping…active means things like getting a massage, doing yoga, meditating or just laying around.

Mental rest  Letting your brain take a break is important, too, especially if you work long hours.  Ideally, you should take a mini-break every 20 minutes.

Sensory rest  We’re constantly looking at screens now so extended breaks are important especially after dinner and before bed.

Creative rest  It’s like mental rest but even more focused on taking a break from problem-solving and brainstorming.

Emotional rest  We need to separate ourselves from things that make us feel emotionally overwhelmed…and that includes friends and family.

Social rest  It doesn’t just mean taking breaks from being social…it also means leaning on the positive and supportive people in your life and spending less time on the negative, destructive ones.

Spiritual rest  No matter how you do it, try to find a way to feel a larger sense of belonging, love, acceptance and purpose.
