Sleep has become the ultimate luxury in our always-on culture. In this featured segment on CTV News Channel, The Sleep Ambassador® Nancy Rothstein discusses why sleep is increasingly being recognized as a status symbol — not because it’s exclusive, but because prioritizing rest signals wisdom, self-awareness, and a commitment to peak performance.
High-performing executives, athletes, and thought leaders are increasingly vocal about making sleep a non-negotiable part of their routines. The message is clear: those who invest in their sleep are investing in their health, productivity, and long-term success.
