“I realized how serious the consequences could be of ignoring what my body and mind needed to be healthy — and that’s where my journey to wellness began,” Lopez said of that straightforward advice.
“I think of sleep like a little time machine,” she added. “You lay down and you go into a space where you preserve yourself and then you come out a new, younger person than you were before.”
Finally, Lopez said, “Sometimes I wake up and say, ‘Wow! I just lost 10 years off my face!’ That’s what a good night’s sleep can do for you, and it accumulates over time.”
