THE RULES OF A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP

LEARNING TO SLEEP BETTER LEADS TO A BETTER LIFESTYLE

Sleep is an essential activity for our bodies, just like eating or drinking. 

The quantity and quality of sleep affect our physical and mental health.   

A good night’s sleep encourages the regeneration of our bodies and helps us to feel more at peace with ourselves. On the contrary, insufficient or poor quality sleep can alter the metabolism, damaging the body’s immune system and making it almost impossible to concentrate during the day.
