"Woman, you are strong. Yet your sleep can be fragile.
Protect it.

Protect it through worries, pressure and responsibilities.
Nurture it through your cycles, pregnancy and menopause.
It's a little harder for us.
It's a little more needed for us.
We take on life with the greater responsibility of carrying it too.
Woman, protect your sleep."
