"Mums are often overtired and under-slept (often out of our control); but did you know lack of sleep is a form of stress on our bodies? It all builds up in our bodies and means we can never feel as good as we deserve!

 

Chronic stress has been linked to mental health conditions such as anxiety disorders, depression, and burnout. Stress disrupts our hormones and can lead to difficulty losing body fat. Are you always getting sick? Chronic stress can weaken the immune system, impairing your ability to fight off those winter bugs. It can also lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and gut issues.

Getting MORE hours may be out of your control, but you can find ways to optimise the sleep you DO get." - Talia Pranskunas
