The Science
Many people view sleep as solely a time when their brains shut off and their bodies rest. Research shows that sleep is the time when your brain gets a hug and learns that everything is okay. This is why sleep is an essential component to one's wellness and overall brain health.
Sufficient restful Sleep can improve one's learning, memory, emotional, behavioral and physical development.
