Catch up with any friend, and the phrase will inevitably come up: “I’ve just been so busy!” In the chaos of today, our lives can feel overbooked, our schedules jam-packed, and our sleep ever-shrinking. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In Well+Good’s Rest Issue, we’re inviting you to step back, slow down, and examine what it means to find downtime—and actually enjoy it.

Because we’ll say it again: You deserve a break. Now here’s how to get one.
