We spend approximately one-third of our lives sleeping. For the average person, this equates to around 26 years spent asleep; that’s 9490 days or 227,760 hours. We also spend a whopping seven years trying to fall asleep (much more if you suffer from insomnia). In total, that’s a staggering 33 years spent either asleep or trying to sleep. Given these figures, it’s clear to see how important the biological function of sleep is to our wellbeing.
Sleep is essential for many vital and significant functions, including cellular growth and repair, development, energy conservation, clearance of toxins from the brain and body, cognition, balanced hormones, modulation of immune response and your psychological state. It’s no surprise
