Sleep and health

Sleep has been a much researched topic for many years, but it's only recently that researchers have discovered how complex it really is - and that sleep does so much more for us than just counteract fatigue. When we sleep, our bodies and brains recover. Daily life demands a lot from us, and good sleep quality makes us feel better.

Good sleep improves health

Good sleep isn't just about the extra energy it gives you to get you through the day, a training session at the gym, a parents' meeting at school or a day at work – or even to give you enough energy at the end of the day to stand your ground when the kids try to renegotiate bedtime for the umpteenth time. Sleep is just as important for our general health and well-being.

This happens when we sleep well

Good sleep and rest are important for optimum health. During the different sleep cycles, many different processes take place in our body – it's not only our muscles that relax and recover.
