Sleep...the first key to recovery from our busy lives, good quality and quantity of sleep can optimise everything we do when we're awake.
How are you sleeping? Are you getting enough? Are you getting good quality rest and feeling refreshed when you wake up?
Did you know that the blue light emitted by our mobile and tablet screens, our computers, laptops and TV's, reduces the production of melatonin, the hormone that controls your sleep/wake cycle (circadian rhythm). By reducing your melatonin this makes it harder for you to fall asleep and stay asleep. So avoid using your devices and switch off as you wind down for your nocturnal slumber. Maybe read a page of a book instead!
