Do you prioritise quality sleep?

Or, do you understand what quality sleep truly is? 48% of UK adults agreed that sleeping badly has a knock-on effect on their mental health....but to what extent? Let’s run over some facts.

  • Obesity
  • Coronary heart disease

...to name a few!

All this, paired with the fact that 1 in 3 UK adults suffer from lack of sleep, tells us it’s time to prioritise quality sleep, especially in business.
