The Power Of Good Sleep

Sleep plays an integral role in our health and wellbeing. You’ve probably read that a million times, but it’s not very helpful if you’re one of those people lying awake every night listening to your partner snoring in time to the impatient drumming of your fingers on the Egyptian cotton Knowing your health is at risk only makes things worse.

Amazingly, the impact of regular good sleep on our health is quite astounding. It boosts our immunity (persistent insomnia makes our bodies a target for bugs and viruses); it helps to stabilise our hormones, which, in turn, keeps obesity at bay; it boosts our mood (depression and anxiety are common disorders among the sleep-deprived); better sleep also means less potential for developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
