The importance of a good night’s sleep cannot be overstated. Despite the few, members of the population who swear that they are somehow more energised on as little as four hours sleep, the vast majority of us need a full eight hours in order to be fully functional for the entirey of the day.
After all, sleep is how our mind and body regenerates – lowering the risk of a variety of diseases and disorders, while reducing stress and boosting our moods. According to the NHS, a healthy adult usually needs around seven to nine hours of sleep – though this may vary according to age, health and personal circumstances.
