Sleep is now recognised as the third pillar of health, along with a balanced diet and regular exercise, but four in 10 Aussies, and one in four Kiwi’s are not getting enough sleep.
So if sleep is so important, why is it one of the first things we’re willing to sacrifice as the demands in our lives increase? We continue to be more health conscious in our eating habits, exercising and lifestyle choices, but many of us overlook the impact of sleep on our overall health.
Each month throughout 2018 we’ll bring you a new tip to improve your sleep, and lots of great advice on how making simple changes to your sleep and lifestyle habits can have a big impact on your overall health and happiness.
