It’s the time of year when we all wind down to spend time with family and friends, however, the gift of rest shouldn’t be just for Christmas.

With our advances in technology with emails being next to us 24/7 and bosses who email late expecting a reply, we feel we should be working all the time.
Science however has now proved that this isn’t the case and rest should be made a priority which can also improve and maximize the hours we do work.
Rest doesn’t actually have to be sleep either, rest can be anything that focuses your mind on an activity. Some top flying CEOs actually rock climb!
