Discover why sleep is one of the most important factors of your well-being

The “Millenials” have become the most exhausted generation ever and although Socrates has warned us “to be careful with the poverty of a busy life”, we continue to use “being always very busy” as a badge of honor, we never really take a break, and give ourselves time to care  for ourselves.

This lifestyle obviously has its consequences and we end up feeling them sooner or later, physically and mentally. Incredibly, it seems that a large percentage of the population sleeps less than 6 hours a night, when recommended between 7 and 9 hours while another large percentage has problems falling asleep or sleeping a whole night without waking up.

How detrimental is a bad night’s sleep?

Bad nights too often bring on symptoms such as headaches, lack of concentration, which also leads to poor decisions, anxiety, exhaustion, fatigue, lack of energy and we could continue to a little more extreme situations like high risk of heart attacks, diabetes, depression, among others.
