Our last meeting had a capacity audience, Michael Lyons Pharmacist (Fermoy) spoke at length on the benefits of sleep and the lack there-of. The quality of your night’s sleep will have a big impact on the quality of your day. 7-8 hours of quality sleep is recommended, not less than 6 hours. Sleeping tablets are for short term use only, as they do not give quality sleep and can often interact with other medication. Many thanks Michael.
