When was the last time you truly experienced deep restful sleep?
It is well-documented that sleep benefits the body and mind in various physical, physiological and mental health and wellbeing ways, such as:
- Improving mood and energy levels.
- Promoting cardiac health and regulating blood sugar.
- Enhancing mental function, memory, learning, and problem-solving.
- Restoring the immune system and reducing stress.
- Supporting athletic performance and maintaining a healthy weight.
