BA LA NC E EDITORIAL Editor Sophie Scott Chief Sub-Editor Lynne Maxwell Sub-Editors Natalie Bowen, David Crozier COVER PHOTOGRAPHY: JASON BELL, CAMERA PRESS LONDON. EDITOR'S PHOTOGRAPHY: IAKOVOS KALAITZAKIS Welcome THE BALANCE EQUATION Editorial Assistant Abi Harman Creative Director Kate Monument Art Director Victoria Ireland Your relationship with sleep, like your relationship with food, is deeply personal. And whether or not someone else is lying next to you in bed, it represents a time of going inward and being alone with yourself. Sleep, for me, is an essential piece of housekeeping for the mind, body and soul. Most of the great poets and playwrights have explored the theme, notably Shakespeare, who wrote about the healing nature of sleep, even comparing it to our final welcome resting place. Dreams, arguably, can open you up to different levels of consciousness and can help you to develop greater insight. Chances are, sleep (or the lack of it) governs your life and mood on a daily basis regardless of whether you are a new parent, a party-animal, a shift-worker or a full-blown insomniac. And since we recognise the importance of 40 winks, we decided to create an issue based on the guidance of some of the world's leading sleep experts. When all is said and done, it's amazing what a good night's sleep can do. I sincerely hope we can bring you a little closer to that.
