What is a sleep cycle? 🤷♀️😴😴😴
The simple, everyday act of sleeping is not as straightforward as it once was. We either fail to get enough sleep or we find our bed-time haunted by insomnia or wakefulness. When it starts to feel like it’s impossible to get a good night’s sleep, it might actually be time to take a closer look at your sleep cycle.

Common misconceptions about the keto diet 🤷♀️🥑🍎🥕
Known as the keto diet for short, the diet consists of foods that are low in carbohydrates (5-10%), moderate in protein (30-35%) and high in fat (55-60%). Specifically, in a 2000 kcal per day diet, only 20 to 50 grams of carbohydrates are allowed per day.

The effects of ageing on sleep 👵🏻👴🏻😴
Have you noticed that you are waking up earlier in the morning when it used to be impossible for you as a teenager to wake before 11am? You’re not alone. Sleeping habits change naturally as we age, especially in our older years. Hence, it is important that we become aware of such changes and manage it for our well-being.

Why do I still feel tired after 8 hours of sleep? 🤷♀️🤷♀️😴😴
Getting a full eight hours of sleep a night is often a struggle. To make matters worse, there are times when one continues to feel tired despite supposedly having gotten sufficient sleep.

Does taking a power nap during the day work? 🤷♀️😴
Naps are tricky things – sometimes they leave you feeling refreshed and energised while other times you feel even more exhausted! However, sometimes it feels impossible to make it through the day without having a nap to slip a little something-something into our tank. Do naps really deserve their place in our lives or should we find another solution to fix our sleepiness?
