A wealth of research is amassing on the importance of sleep for overall good health. Emerging evidence points to links between a good night’s sleep and support for many aspects of good health, ranging from cognitive benefits to healthy weight management. But what does good sleep really mean? It’s more than just falling asleep easily or getting a requisite number of hours of sleep. Quality sleep is essential. Quality sleep means you have good sleep architecture – that you cycle through each of the stages of sleep several times each night.
