Massage Improves Sleep Quality

In today’s times, most people easily appreciate that sleep is just as important as exercise and diet in enabling us to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. However, it is still a common misconception that to
deprive oneself of sleep during our working week is fine, as long as we ‘make it up’ at the weekends. Quality sleep cannot be gained
retrospectively!

For many people, sleep loss is a problematic occurrence and has a negative impact on their daily lives. A range of complications can quickly arise as a result of continued sleep deprivation. Some of these
include:

• Reduced performance at work, school or college
• Reduced reaction time while driving, increasing the risk of accident
• psychiatric problems, including depression and anxiety disorders
• Weight increase and obesity
• Irritabilty
• Increased incidence of high blood pressure and heart disease
• Increased risk of industrial accidents
