"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."
