How to Sleep Better

Feeling tired?

Massage could be the answer to improved sleep quality and better overall health

Sleeping well is as important to your health as eating healthy and exercising. Poor sleep can be a factor contributing to numerous health issues, including weight gain, depression, and heart disease or stroke. Taking steps to ensure a better sleep is a great way to feel healthier, energized, and increase immunity.

Signs of poor sleep quality:

It takes more than 30 minutes to fall asleep after you get into bed.
You wake up more than once during the night.
Can’t shake the tired feeling and have difficulty concentrating throughout the day. You may be reaching for caffeine to stay alert.
Frequent cravings for junk food, or noticing weight gain.
Skin is more prone to break outs and your eyes are puffy, red, or developing dark circles.
Feeling more stressed out, emotionally exhausted, or angrier than usual.
