Happy Healthy Holistic

Sleep is a vital part of our daily routine and is crucial for our physical and mental health and overall wellbeing. This includes cognitive health, immune system function, wound healing, appearance, skin health, cardiovascular health, and endocrine system function. In this guide, we will provide you with a comprehensive set of tips and strategies to help you optimise your sleep and wake up refreshed, resilient and ready for anything.

Our bodies are intrinsically regulated by a natural internal clock known as the circadian rhythm, which controls various physiological processes, including the sleep-wake cycle, immune function, temperature, elimination, digestion, certain hormones and stress response. Hormone cortisol spikes in the morning to wake us up, boosting alertness in the late morning, and melatonin is secreted around 9 p.m. to help us fall asleep.
