Sleep Health
How’s your sleep?
Along with physical exercise and a healthy diet, sleep is one of the essential pillars of a healthy lifestyle.
Sleep plays important roles in our bodies, such as regulating cognitive function and mood. It is therefore essential for physical health and mental well-being. In addition, chronic sleep deprivation and some sleep disorders increase the risk of cardiovascular complications.
