Sometimes, it can be difficult to fall asleep. You can be up worrying or reliving upsetting events that have happened in your life. Stress can make our bodies feel like they need to be on high alert, making it difficult to wind down and fall asleep easily. Stress can impact our sleep in different ways, including making it difficult for our minds to calm down, causing us to wake up too early, and leaving us with restless sleep.
Good sleep can:
- Boost your immune system.
- Keep your heart healthy.
- Improve focus and concentration.
- Boost your mood.
- Reduce stress.
- Increase energy levels.
- Improve your quality of life.
As we can see there are several benefits to sleeping well. However, sleep is different for each stage of our lives. Sleeping as a newborn is incredibly different from sleeping as an adult!
