Sleep Issues
“Sleep is the golden chain that ties health and our bodies together” Thomas Dekker – quote on the importance of sleep.
Sleep is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. During sleep your body restores and rejuvenates, releasing growth hormones, which fix damaged tissues. Sleep reduces the amount of stress hormones in your body and adjusts the hormones that control appetite, along with boosting your immune system. Often sleep disorders in themselves increase anxiety, as an individual can start to fear going to bed and not getting enough sleep.
