Draaien en keren, elke nacht om 3 uur wakker worden, opvliegers, krampen in de benen of moe wakker worden. Er is een reden waarom slaapmedicatie een van de meest voorgeschreven medicijnen is. Zowel ons lichaam als onze geest hebben een gezond slaappatroon nodig om de dag te verwerken en zich voor te bereiden op de uitdagingen die voor ons liggen.
Gezonde slaap leidt tot :
- Better mental health
- Better hormonal balance
- Better metabolism and healthy weight
- More focus and concentration
- More energy to chase your dreams
