Vital Role of Sleep
Sleep plays a pivotal role in our health and well-being,throughout our entire life. Ensuring that you get adequate, good quality sleep at the appropriate times is essential. Sleep helps support the body to look after mental, emotional and physical health.
When we sleep, our body not only repairs itself, but works to restore a variety of bodily systems. A restful night’s sleep will ensure that when we wake the next morning we are in the best shape that we can be. In children and young adults, growth and development take place during sleeping hours, so it is important for them to go to bed early and ensure that they get enough sleep.

Being an entrepreneur, means “good sleep” is a hot commodity. I crave it so much. I plan to disconnect for a few days, so I can remember what it feels like again! 😉

I have found that exercising makes such a difference in getting a great night’s sleep. And having just ten minutes of unplugged time before bed with a good book or just chatting with my hubby totally relaxes me before bed.

Sleep is so hard to come by for me. I have to take Benadryl every night to feel the sleepy. Because even though my body is tired, my brain needs the Benadryl to lull it out of all the things that are racing through it.
