Sleep is the gateway to all the other elements of a healthy, thriving life. As the science shows, it impacts virtually every aspect of our physical and mental health. From our immune system and heart health to our relationships and ability to manage stress, sleep is the underpinning of our well-being.

Sleep also plays an important role in professional success: if your job involves decision-making, memory, problem-solving, creativity, focus, attention, communication or collaboration, then sleep should be a priority.

The problem is, in our fast-paced, hyper-connected world, getting a good night’s sleep has never been more challenging. For many people, it can sometimes seem like there’s not enough time in the day for everything we need to get done, and sleep often ends up taking a back seat. But that can be a costly mistake. And there are ways to make time for sleep. And when we do, we’re much more productive, and our performance improves across the board.
