Sleep is an important part of the wellbeing formula. It is important that you are getting enough sleep. Most people need 7-8 hours of sleep a night. When you sleep better, you feel better. It is easy to forget but sleep is as important to our health as eating well.
Sleeping well helps to:
- improve your memory;
- boost your learning, productivity and performance;
- curbs inflammation;
- boosts your immune system;
- lowers stress and anxiety
- lowers fatigue;
- sharpens attention and focus
- improve your stamina
- improve your resilience
- avoid accidents or stupid mistakes
Prompt: If you don’t already keep track of your sleeping habits why not keep a daily log to record your
sleep-wake pattern (or use a sleep tracking app). It can help make you more aware of your sleeping patterns and understand what you might need to change to get a better nights sleep.
