Improve Your Sleep In The New Year

When was the last time you had a "perfect week" of sleep? According to a recent survey 78% of respondents couldn't recall when they last had a "perfect week" of sleep with 55% saying they couldn't remember the last time they had just one "perfect night".

We know that getting enough quality sleep is essential to our well-being. In fact, sleep supports a variety of important functions including our metabolism, brain health and can have an impact on certain health conditions like heart disease, obesity and depression.

Commissioned by Herbalife and conducted by OnePoll, the survey asked respondents if they know how to get a good night's sleep. Less than half said yes.

So, why do so many of us keep short-changing a key component to our health? And is perfect sleep a pipe dream?
