Sleep Awareness 

Did you know over 60% of adults have trouble sleeping a few nights a week or more? Our busy days can be so intense and thought-provoking that they can lead to sleepless nights. But being productive during the day is dependent on a good night’s rest. Besides feeling exhausted, there are other effects of not getting enough sleep:

• Decreased Performance and Alertness – Sleep deprivation reduces your alertness and leads to poor performance. Reducing your sleep by as little as 1½ hours for a single night could result in a reduction of daytime alertness by as much as 32%.

• Memory and Cognitive Impairment – Decreased alertness and excessive daytime sleepiness hinder your memory function along with your ability to think and process information.

On the other hand, getting a great night’s rest has major benefits:

• Learning and Memory – Sleep encourages your brain to commit new information to memory.

• Metabolism and Weight – Irregular sleep may cause weight gain, by affecting the way our bodies handle carbohydrates and altering hormone levels related to appetite.

• Mood – Sleep loss has been known to result in more than just an inability to concentrate. It also leads to impatience and mood swings.

• Heart Health – Several serious sleep disorders are associated with hypertension, higher stress levels and irregular heartbeat.

• Immune Health – Lack of sleep weakens your body’s immune function.

• Safety – The tendency to fall asleep during the daytime can have consequences such as traffic accidents
