Healthy sleep is just as important to health and healing as physical, mental and emotional health. It is also the foundation for other lifestyle changes. Being tired or sleepy makes it very difficult to eat well and exercise. According to the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, sleep delays or interruptions can cause sluggishness, low attention span, decreased sociability, depressed mood, decreased deep sleep, decreased caloric burn during the day, increased hunger, decreased performance and much more. It’s easy to see why healthy sleep is important!
