IN THE ARMS OF MORPHEUS

Sleep is your powerful ally and plays an essential role in the recovery of daytime fatigue, metabolic and psychic activity.

The truth is that women today work twice as hard and sleep less and less.

The need to devote some time to the family, the pleasure of enjoying a few hours of entertainment inevitably affect sleep, which can be compromised by frequent awakenings.

Eight hours of sleep a night would be perfect but often this is not the case.

During sleep, the brain synchronises all the biorhythms that are essential for your health: blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, sleep-wake rhythm, hormonal biorhythms, their daily and monthly patterns, and muscle tone.

Sleep helps reduce levels of the stress hormones adrenalin and cortisol and affects menstrual regularity, sexuality, pregnancy and menopause.

Few hours of sleep alter the mood, increase levels of irritability, aggressiveness, physical tiredness and decrease libido.

Protect your precious sleep, for you, for your duties but above all for your passions, which lead you to live more intensely.

 Evaluate with your doctor/gynaecologist the quality of your sleep and the amount of sleep-related disorders and check with him/her whether it would be advisable to use substances (such as melatonin), which re-tune the biorhythms altered by insomnia.
