It may be no surprise to you all how serious our team take our sleep routine. This week as we celebrate Sleep Week, we wanted to share with you all our daily sleep routine and what is important to us.
We give our insights on the cotton vs linen debate, reveal our morning alarm habits and some of us confess to a daytime nap. Let's start with our founder, Kristy Withers.
