When we take the first tentative steps on our health and wellness journey, we have certain expectations. We can grasp the importance of regular exercise and sound nutrition, and we recognise that to make progress, we’ll need to make changes in these areas. Many of us are surprised to learn that we are neglecting an – equally important – tenet of health, sleep!
Given that we’ll spend over thirty percent of our lives asleep, we pay little attention to what happens when our eyes close for the night. Find out more about how sleep affects your health, how to assess your own sleep, and how to improve your sleep in our blog three-part Sleep blog.

If it sounds impossible, that’s because it is. Try as we might, we can’t have it all. Refusing to accept this leads us to feel under pressure, like we don’t have enough hours in the day. We rush from one task to the next, spending little time or energy on the things we really care about. Over time we become stressed and can feel unfulfilled.
