Sleep, relaxation, and recovery experiences: The importance of leisure time

Don't lose sleep over it. Easier said than done. Sleep and - more generally - recovery are fundamental processes for our health, well-being, and productivity.

What risks are implied by lack of recovery? How does stress - particularly work stress - steal our sleep? What can we do to stop it?
