Good quality sleep is an essential component of a healthy mind and body
In order to repair tissue damage from daily work and activities, we sleep for approximately one third of our lives, allowing our organs to revitalize and in particular allowing our brain to consolidate memory and re-energise to cope with the challenges of the next day.
There are many Sleep Disorders and other issues which may interfere with a good night sleep.

This may lead to poor organ function, sleepiness, memory decline and poor concentration the next day and requires investigation by a sleep specialist, which may include a sleep study to assess what is occurring when you are asleep.
