Make Peace with Sleep

Make Peace with Sleep

Half a century ago, at the height of the Vietnam War, John Lennon and Yoko Ono bedded in for two weeks as a nonviolent protest to promote peace. As the war in Ukraine rages on, nuclear catastrophe looms, and countries tensely divided into strategic standoffs, another silent unrest plagues people the world over reaching breaking point, namely, the shattering of sleep.   External conflicts mirror inner chaos. How we sleep reflects our mental states. Nowadays, it is far from peaceful. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, there was a sudden surge in nightmares around the world, coinciding with heightened levels of anxiety...

Limited Edition Organic Cotton Face Mask Fundraiser

Face Masks Raised Over $3000

The Science of Dreaming

The Science of Dreaming

We all sleep and dream, but do you know why we dream? Did you know that everyone has 4-6 dreams each night, including those who think they never dream? Recent studies conducted in sleep labs have shown that, during an eight-hour sleep, our brains cycle 4-6 times from slow-wave deep sleep to active REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, where most dreams occur.  On average, we dream two hours each day and six years in total over a lifetime. If dreaming takes up such a significant part of our lives, it must serve an essential purpose. So why do we dream? Ancient cultures and religions believe that dreams...
