Introduction
Everyone, at some time or another, has bemoaned their need for sleep. As a playing child, adventure seeking young adult, or a ‘grown-up’ with work and family pressures – there are just not enough hours in the day.
If we didn’t sleep, we could do more, right?
Recent research has turned this concept totally on its head. A lack of adequate sleep – both in terms of quantity and quality – has a direct correlation to severe health problems, longevity, quality of life, and productivity.
Even setting aside the health implications, reduced sleep quite simply results in reduced effectiveness in all we do, which includes enjoying our waking hours.
As far as our health is concerned, the implications are huge. Some prominent sleep specialists claim that sleep is even more important than diet and exercise in determining health outcomes.
This eBook explains why good sleep is essential to our health and wellbeing. It discusses specific health issues related to sleep disorders, and how sleep problems affect age groups differently.
Probably of greatest benefit, it provides natural solutions to overcoming sleep disorders, and how to get a better night’s sleep. This knowledge is invaluable to the many people who suffer from a lack of effective sleep but can’t seem to find a solution that works for them.
