Sleep is Vital
Sleep is key to a healthy body and a clear mind. During sleep, your body and mind renew themselves, especially in Wintertime. Let Traditional Acupuncture help you find restorative sleep.
Sustaining a Balanced Life
Sleep is vital to sustaining a balanced life, as are breathing, eating, and drinking. Getting sufficient sleep can be a potent energiser, just as not getting enough sleep can leave you feeling drained and sluggish. There are many reasons why sleep is not happening in your life. Traditional Acupuncture considers you holistically to treat your whole system in Body and Mind, to help you find your way back to sleep.
How Much Sleep
While eight hours is the average amount of sleep most adults should generally aim for, the right amount of sleep varies for each person. How much we sleep also varies, depending on where we are in life. Young people often need more sleep, while older people may need less.
Benefits of Sleep
The benefits of sleep always stay the same. Regular and consistent periods of wakefulness and sleep are key ingredients to fostering a healthy body and a clear mind. It is during sleep that your body renews itself. During sleep, your body and psyche are both regaining their strength for the coming day.
