Getting Better Sleep
Sleep is an essential part of our well-being as important for general health, mood, concentration and daily performance. It is common to not sleep properly for a night or two. This could be due to excitement about a birthday, worried about an interview the next day or being ill. Most people can put up with a bad night’s sleep for a night or two. This is because your body will catch up on the missed sleep later on. However, not sleeping for several days or weeks can start to affect our ability to cope day to day.
