If you are between 18 and 64, sleep range needed is 7-9 hours.

What happens to our body when we sleep?

Sleep is the time when the body can undergo repair and detoxification. Poor sleep patterns are linked to poor health. Sleep has a profound effect on our mental, emotional and physical well being.

Sleep is one of the best anti-aging remedy. During sleep we generate melatonin, a powerful antioxidant that makes us:

• sleep longer
• strengthens the immune system
• protects against cancer
• prevents osteoporosis and heart disease

Because melatonin production decrease after the age of 30, we must take care and:

• eat a balanced diet
• daylight exposure – see the sun
• get enough sleep (7-9 hours/day)
• avoid stress, don’t drink alcohol and coffee and don’t smoke
