Most people underrate the impacts regular lack of sleep can have on the body.

Sleep is essential for your brain and body to work at their best.

Most cells and organs in your body will either break down or not work at their full capacity if you’re not getting the right amount of sleep each day. That’s why sleep experts recommend at least 7 hours of sleep for all adults.
