Sleep Techniques

If your mental battery has a 10% charge, there’s NO way to meet your all your mental and physical needs!

Energy from the day is restored while you are asleep. If you don’t have periods of rest, there is no way for your body and mind to restore your energy level. You need sleep to keep the mind and body healthy. It’s like recharging a battery so your device is fully functional.

In SLEEP 101: WHY SLEEP IS SO IMPORTANT TO YOUR HEALTH, Erica Jansen writes, “Sleep is essential to every process in the body, affecting our physical and mental functioning the next day, our ability to fight disease and develop immunity, and our metabolism and chronic disease risk. Chronic exposure to poor sleep quality is associated with depression, anxiety, and other conditions.”

According to Health.gov there are benefits of restful sleep:

^
Get sick less often
^
Stay at a healthy weight
^
Lower your risk for serious health problems, like diabetes and heart disease 
^
Reduce stress and improve your mood
^
Think more clearly and do better in school and at work
^
Get along better with people
^
Think more clearly and do better in school and at work
^
Make good decisions and avoid injuries
The CDC estimates about 70 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep problems. “Lack of sleep is associated with injuries, chronic diseases, mental illnesses, poor quality of life and well-being, increased health care costs, and lost work productivity. Sleep problems are major contributors to some chronic conditions, including obesity and depression but are rarely addressed.”

The CDC has started a program to address the importance of sleep. The program focuses on:

^
Strengthening surveillance of sleep at national and state levels.
^
Promoting partnerships that deliver broad-based messages to diverse populations.
^
Increasing public awareness about sleep health, sleep disorders, and consequences of sleep deprivation.
^
Promoting science-based public policies that improve the sleep health of the nation.
^
Studying advance strategies to reduce the impact of sleep deprivation on the public’s health and safety
^
Promoting recognition of and access to care for all individuals with sleep disorders.
