Sleep is one of the most underrated strategies for mental and physical health and well-being. Research demonstrates that adults who consistently get less than six hours of sleep per night are predisposed to many health problems. Unfortunately, more than 30% of people experience insomnia and with the constant pull of work and technology, getting a good night’s sleep is increasingly challenging.

  • Know recent statistics regarding sleep deficits and health challenges;
  • Understand the sleep cycle and circadian rhythm;
