Why Sleep is so Important

We all need quality sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation, people who have sleep problems are more likely to go on to develop psychiatric problems than people who sleep well. Chronic insomnia can also impact health by compromising the immune system.

The correct proportion of around 25% REM sleep to 75% non-REM sleep stabilizes the workings of neurotransmitters in the brain which determine mood and motivation and emotional stability during the day.

Sleep is therefore the foundation on which your mental and physical health is built.
