Our bodies need long periods of sleep in order to restore and rejuvenate, repair tissue, grow muscle and synthesise hormones, among other important processes. It is worth emphasising the importance of sleep to your patients. Sleep deprivation will not only hinder the healing process but may also introduce other significant health problems into their lives.

Sometimes I find it really hard to make time for my learning, but I was blown away by how easy it is with the Ausmed app. I can fit it in during breaks or on the bus to work.
