Out With The Old, In With The New!
How important is sleep? For some time now, sleep has been considered simply a period of time during which the body and brain go into a state of stasis. However, current studies show that the body and brain actually continue to function fully throughout our many sleep cycle stages.

The total amount of quality sleep that we get, and how we visit each one of our sleep stages directly impacts how rested we feel the next day.
