Improving our sleep is the single most effective thing that we can do to reset our health and recharge our bodies. And yet how many of us feel that we don’t have enough time to sleep for 7-9 hours?

- higher BMI = obesity (2x increased risk)
- high blood pressure
- type II diabetes
- higher stress levels and risk of mental health problems (depression, PTSD, SAD, premenstrual syndrome etc.)
- weakened immune response (reduced ability to fight off infections and to prevent cancer)
