Dr. Steve Hansen from Natra-Heal Wellness talks about the importance of Sleep, and how we can optimize our sleep for a good night’s rest.

Sleep is crucial for maintaining our health and well-being. Our bodies repair and rejuvenate, and our brains consolidate memories and process information during sleep. To ensure a good night’s rest, there are several key strategies to implement. Consistently adhering to a sleep schedule by sleeping and waking up at the same time every day regulates our internal clock. Creating a sleep-conducive environment by using a comfortable mattress, maintaining a cool temperature, and reducing noise and light, enhances sleep quality. Abstaining from stimulants like caffeine and electronics before bedtime, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or meditation, and engaging in regular physical activity can also promote restful sleep. Prioritising and adhering to these sleep optimisation techniques leads to a better quality sleep, improved daytime functioning, and better health and well-being.
