Sleep has a significant impact on not only our mood but our entire body. Quality sleep is so important for our health as during sleep our bodies regenerate; even a day without adequate sleep can have massive consequences on how our bodies function.

If you suffer from chronic sleep deprivation you might be surprised to learn that there are a range of health issues including depression and anxiety that are linked to sleep issues. Your brain and hormones rely heavily on good quality, uninterrupted shut eye to perform at their best.
