Mental Health Awareness Month
How do you feel when you get a great night’s sleep? Contrast that with the tired, sluggish way you feel when you go to bed late, toss and turn for hours, only to wake up early and start the day. The truth is that lack of sleep doesn’t just put you in a sour mood for the day ahead. It can also impact your physical and mental health in deeper ways, leading to an array of issues that can make it hard to enjoy life and accomplish necessary tasks. Over time, chronic insomnia has been associated with depression, anxiety, and problems with memory and cognition. As Mental Health Awareness Month, May is a great time to consider the impact of sleeplessness on yourself and the people around you. Keep reading to learn more about what you can do to get more rest and live your best life.
Cognitive Dysfunction
Cognitive issues are just one of the many side effects associated with a lack of rest. If you aren’t getting enough sleep on a nightly basis, you can expect to experience forgetfulness, memory issues, and slower cognition. Those seeking to excel at work or school should aim to get seven to nine hours of sleep year-round for optimal performance.
Stress
If you’ve ever read a wellness book or listened to a podcast on the subject, you probably know that stress is a serious problem in our modern society. A steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands, stress levels increase when we don’t get enough sleep. Along with causing general exhaustion, too much stress can lead to impaired thinking, weight gain, bad moods, and even a general inability to regulate emotions. Getting enough sleep is crucial to regulating stress levels and improving overall mental health.
Depression and Anxiety
Speaking of mental health, poor sleep is associated with both anxiety and depression. Not only can sleeplessness worsen issues you already have, but it can also contribute to the onset of new ones. If you want to guard your mental health – and just enjoy life more fully – getting enough sleep is a good first step.
Invest in Healthier Bedding
Bedding might not be the solution to every mental health woe. However, if you’re suffering from a lack of sleep and the associated physical and emotional issues, May is a great time to invest in your own comfort. We recommend choosing a sheet set that feels great against your skin while contributing to overall health and wellness.
