We should all be prioritising sleep, according to the Dalai Lama… it is the best form of meditation.
Rhi Hepple discusses how sleep has a strong influence on so many bodily functions. If you regularly fail to get a good night’s sleep this can have implications on your longterm health, making you more prone to a whole raft of issues from weight gain to constipation to mental health problems to Alzheimer’s. It is essential for our bodies and minds, not least to allow our system to shed toxins.
