Have you ever thought about the fact that we spend a third of our lives sleeping?

There are over 80 sleep disorders that we know of. Let’s talk about these disorders.

• Sleep apnea
• Insomnia

Tips and tricks for sleeping well:

• Give yourself 20 minutes to fall asleep
• Do things that relax you before going to bed
• Sleep in a calm, cool and dark room
• Most importantly, avoid caffeine, alcohol and tobacco
• Avoid taking naps
• Wake up at the same time every morning
• Do some light physical exercise in the evening
• Avoid sleeping for too long

A chamomile tea and comforting mug of hot milk are essential. Enjoy your drink quietly, pamper yourself and enjoy a night of restful sleep.
