When was the last time you assessed the quality of your sleeping? Sounds a bit strange, doesn't it? But this seemingly 'doing nothing' part of our day, is vital to our health and well-being. In these days of multiple social media channels, many people are making checking their Facebook page or emails, their first and last activity of the day.

Are you sleepwalking into a bad night's sleep?
