Sleep

Healthy Family

Eat. Sleep. Create.
Improving your relationship with sleep will not only help you, it will also set good examples for your little ones who need sleep even more than adults!

  • Sleep and daily rhythms impact our metabolism.*

  • Bedtime routines help more than just the kids.*

  • Sleep cleanses.

Sleep is a really important ingredient for creating a healthy lifestyle.

With proper sleep our body can better manage stress hormones, our metabolism can function normally, our body cleanses itself of things that aren’t good for us and our mind has time to calm and reset.*

Yet, sleep is often overlooked; we sacrifice half an hour of sleep here to get to the gym and half an hour there to finish a chapter of a great book.

Reprioritize Sleep

Well, it’s time to reprioritize and put sleep higher up on your agenda to make sure we’re getting the full 7-9 hours of sleep per night that is recommended for adults by The National Sleep Institute. Improving your relationship with sleep will not only help you, it will also set good examples for your little ones who need sleep even more than adults!
