Definition

Sustained, sufficient sleep supports hormonal regulation and tissue repair, both of which affect the hair growth cycle indirectly.

Chronic under-sleeping is a common and frequently overlooked contributor to hair concerns.

Why Soumm includes it

No topical care compensates for persistent sleep deprivation. Rest is part of care rather than a break from it.
