The significance of sleep

Sleep plays an important part in our wellbeing. It provides energy to the body and the brain.

Premier League players need sleep for peak athletic performance. A good sleep helps their split-second decision-making on the pitch.

Equally, if you're not sleeping, this can have a negative impact on your mood and general wellbeing.
