The Importance of Sleep
Analyzing The Need For Healthy Sleep & The Effects of Sleep Deprivation
Sleep is vital part of life. Ensuring that we get enough sleep each night and that that sleep is ‘good’ is really important. Sleep Deprivation leads to reduced brain activity, concentration, physical health and emotional well-being.
Sleep plays an important part of your physical well-being and poor sleep can cause all kinds of issues for your body. Sleep is used to repair the body and ongoing sleep deficiency is linked to an increase in heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and stroke. Obviously these are worst case scenarios, but they are something to be aware of. As such it ensuring that you get the best possible sleep really important. Not sleeping enough can do more than just make you look tired and have bags under your eyes.
Ensuring you have a comfortable night’s sleep is a major part to getting a ‘good’ night’s sleep. If you have a bed that is super comfortable and lulls you to sleep each night you are more likely to sleep well. If your current bed isn’t up to scratch, then check out Bedstar where they deliver beds with a next day delivery service, so you’re never without a bed.
Being sleep deprived reduces your performance and makes you do things slower. If you have a job where you need to be on the ball and concentrate for long periods of time, then you might find that you can’t because you are too tired. You may also find that your reaction times are delayed which could be dangerous if commuting via car. Using a face mask at night and having a routine that includes not using anything with screens can help you to fall asleep better. A relaxing bath just before bed a can also help you to get a good night’s sleep and ensure you are less sleep deprived the following day.
If you do end up dealing with sleep deprivation or have a sleep debt then it can take time to fully recover. Don’t expect a single good night’s sleep to fix all your problems and make you feel great again as it won’t. Not getting enough sleep and not being able to sleep could be caused by a range of things from stress to anxiety. If you are continuously unable to sleep then visit your doctor and make sure that nothing serious is going on.
