Sleep is an essential and crucial part of everyday life, and yet 1 in 3 people suffer from poor sleep. Our quality of sleep has huge impacts on our physical and mental health, quality of life, stress levels, work performance, and overall happiness.
Getting the right amount of quality sleep can give you more energy, improve concentration, help you better deal with stress and, help you maintain a healthy mind.
During sleep we process information, consolidate memories, and undergo a number of maintenance processes that help us to function during the daytime.
Poor sleep over a sustained period of time leads to numerous problems which are immediately recognisable, including fatigue, sleepiness, poor concentration, lapses in memory, and irritability.
Sleep and health are strongly related, poor sleep can increase the risk of having poor health, and poor health can make it harder to sleep.
