A lack of sleep can have a surprisingly big impact on both our body and mind
🤧 Weakened immune system - When you don’t get enough sleep, your body produces fewer infection fighting cells, making you more likely to catch colds and take longer to recover.
😖 Increased stress and anxiety - Poor sleep raises cortisol (the stress hormone) leaving you feeling more anxious, irritable, and overwhelmed.
⚖️ Hormonal imbalance - Sleep is when your body regulates hormones, including those that control appetite, mood and energy. Without enough rest you may feel moody, hungrier than usual, or low in motivation.
🤯 Poor concentration and memory- Your brain uses sleep to process and store information. Without it, focus, decision making, and memory all suffer.
💪Muscle tension and slower healing - Lack of rest stops your muscles and tissues from repairing properly, which can lead to aches, pains, and slower recovery from everyday stresses.
🥇The number one feedback I get from clients following their treatments is how well they have slept.
😴 Most clients are so relaxed during a treatment that they nod off part way through.
🌿 If you’re someone who doesn’t get a full nights, restorative sleep, then why not book a reflexology treatment, aromatherapy massage, or a combination, and start your journey to better sleep today.
