This week there seems to have been a lot in the media about\u00a0the importance of better sleep.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Which is so fabulous, as we often think of eating better, exercising better to improve our health and happiness, but\u00a0it seems that better sleep has an even bigger impact on our overall health than what we eat or how we move.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I just heard about an amazing study, the \u2018daylight savings time\u2019. It is conducted twice a year on over 1.5 billion people across 70 countries and shows a massive\u00a024% increase in heart attacks due to the loss of just one hour\u2019s sleep.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the autumn there\u2019s a 21% decrease in heart attacks. That\u2019s pretty incredible to me.\u00a0Just one hour\u2019s sleep results in such massive biological differences and such a marked effect on our biology.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s so bizarre that sleep is the absolute cornerstone of good health but is often\u00a0undercooked\u00a0as a\u00a0\u2018nice to have\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n

Worse, sleepy-heads are called lazy and those who sleep less are applauded as being more productive, whereas it\u2019s actually the other way round!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Those who get their 8 hours are\u00a0healthier, are able to lose weight easier, have better athletic performance, improved cognition skills, improved memory, are seen as more charismatic, more inspiring leaders, are more\u00a0productive and happier!!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

But how to get better sleep? Well, r<\/span>ead all about it\u00a0in my blog.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

And take part in our\u00a0Sleep Challenge<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 we\u2019re re-starting the sleep challenge this week.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll all be recording our sleepy habits on the\u00a0Movers Group<\/a><\/strong>, we kick-start our good sleepy habits on Sunday.\u00a0Come join in!!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

With love<\/p>\n

Check out\u00a0this short video<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0about Kat\u2019s healing journey with yoga and why she started MFML.\u00a0It\u2019d be great to\u00a0know, in the comments section of the YouTube video what led you to start practicing yoga, and has yoga helped heal you, or has MFML kept you healthy?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
