Don't lose Your Sleep

Nothing beats a good night sleep. People are begining to understand the importance of sleep to overall health and wellness. Infact people who sleep less are at risk of developing diseases.
To be healthy, everyone needs adequate sleep, regular exercise and a sensible diet. People no longer sleep as much as they used to. With social media, people now use their bedtime to surf the internet, depriving themselves of quality  sleep which in turn affects physical and mental health.
Lack of sleep contributes to illnesses such as obesity, heart disease, impaired immunity, memory lapses, mood problems, trouble learning and paying attention,  etc.
It is best to remove things that distract you from sleeping from your bed, eg phones, laptops and books. Television should be restricted to the sitting room.
We all need 6 to 9 hours of sleep to be and feel our best.
Excess weight can cause sleep disorders such as apnea. Chronic sleep deprivation may also cause weight gain.
Get regular exercise but not within 3hours of bedtime. Don't use alcohol as a sleeping aid. Avoid caffeine.  Establish regular times for going to bed and getting up. Make your bed comfortable.
Sleep loss, whether long or short term may result in symptoms such as irritability, impatience,  inability to concentrate, and moodiness and that suggests  psychological problems such as anxiety and depression.
