ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP?

SLEEP SOUNDS LIKE A MAJOR TIME WASTER - WE SPEND A 1/3 OF OUR LIVES IN BED

YET WE MUST FOR OUR BRAIN TO CLEAN ITSELF WHILE WE SNOOZE.

I frequently discuss with clients the role and benefit of sleep, it's important for several reasons as outlined above and in the link to the articles attached https://www.beyondblue.org.au/get-support/staying-well/sleeping-well, but also because SLEEP supports your cognitive abilities to make better choices and regulate your emotions when you are conscious and challenged by stress. SLEEP is like your superhero power, the simplicity of prioritising this self-care activity in your life is often overlooked.  So, as it's the New Year, are you getting enough sleep? Could this be your New Year's Goal?
