Lately, it seems like there’s a day or month for everything. And while some of these holidays may sound a little silly – National Donut Day, anyone? – others have significant value in modern society. We think that’s the case with Social Wellness Month, the July celebration of societal love and nurturing. A key aspect of modern society, social wellness refers to our ability to have positive interactions with the people around us. To develop these beneficial relationships, individuals need good communication skills and an ability to respect themselves and others. Fortunately, you can foster social wellness skills by participating in hobbies, getting plenty of exercise, and taking time out of your day to enjoy life. Keep reading to learn about the history of Social Wellness Month and discover how social wellness and good sleep go hand in hand.

The History of Social Wellness Month

Founded by the counseling group Words of Wellness, Social Wellness Month exists to shine a light on the crucial connection that exists between social wellness and people’s health. Doctors have long realized that physical health goes hand in hand with strong social support. A 1905 study indicated that attending support group meetings had a positive effect on tuberculosis patients. Not only did the meetings help educate patients about their condition, but they also offered the individuals a chance to bond over their illness. This discovery helped doctors recognize the psychological component of disease and even changed certain medical practices. 

How to Improve Social Wellness

Even if you’re not currently part of a support group, there are steps you can take to improve your overall social wellness. Here are some tips to help you connect with others and live your best life:

Hit the Gym: Working out doesn’t just improve your physical health. It can also provide you with valuable opportunities for social connection. Consider joining a neighborhood gym or taking part in a running group or yoga class. You can get fit while meeting people with similar interests.

Get Out in Nature: Taking a walk does more than boost your vitamin D levels. It also allows you to meet neighbors. If you have a pup, consider visiting your local dog park to chat with other pet owners in the area. You might just meet a new friend.

Donate Your Time: Want to improve your social wellness while doing a good deed? Consider volunteering at a local nonprofit. You could work at a soup kitchen, join a Big Brothers group, or even help out at the animal shelter. 

Get Some Rest: It’s hard to socialize if you’re feeling tired and cranky. To increase your odds of connecting, you should strive to get more sleep. The average adult needs seven to nine hours of sleep a day to function optimally.

How Sleep Affects Wellness

Research shows that sleep has a crucial effect on our mental wellness. An essential process, sleep is when the body heals and the brain stores information and memories learned throughout the day. Moreover, sleep impacts our intellectual function and overall mood. If you aren’t getting sufficient rest, you might not feel up to making connections with friends and colleagues. Solving your sleep deficit can increase your odds of having positive interactions in the weeks and months to come. 

Get More Sleep With Better Bedding

Whether you sleep alone or with a partner, insomnia issues could be contributing to your social wellness woes. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to improve sleep and social function. One of the easiest ways to up the amount of sleep you’re getting each night is to swap out your current bedding for something that better suits your needs. In particular, individuals who tend to sleep hot may do better by switching to cooling percale sheets.

For a cool, moisture-free night’s rest, consider Pure Parima’s Ultra Percale Sheet Set. Part of the Hotel Collection, this line comes complete with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and matching pillowcases. At once crisp and fresh, this luxurious set features a matte percale in an array of on-trend colors. Opt for classics like White and Carbon or choose new shades Bone or Slate.
