Sleep Workshop

Service Description

Are you among the millions struggling with sleep? In his ground breaking book "Why We Sleep," neuroscientist Matthew Walker reveals some alarming truths: "Routinely sleeping less than six or seven hours a night demolishes your immune system, more than doubling your risk of cancer... Inadequate sleep – even moderate reductions for just one week – disrupts blood sugar levels so profoundly that you would be classed as pre-diabetic." The long-term effects on your body, mind, and spirit are profound. Recent studies show that adults in their 50s are sleeping the least - with 60% getting fewer than eight hours nightly.
