Every one of us should be getting 7 hours of sleep per night; it's essential for our physical health and mental state, helping you look and feel younger, improving circulation, lowering blood pressure, reducing levels of stress and inflammation, strengthening your immune system, improving memory and helping control body weight.
However, only a slim minority of the population tucks itself in at night for a blissful, restorative and essential 7-hour recharge. Sleep deprivation: it's written on our faces, it shows in our job performance and goes hand in hand with America's obesity epidemic.
Fifteen percent of insomnia, defined as difficulty falling or staying asleep, is caused by physical-neuro dysfunctions, or sleep disorders, like narcolepsy, sleep apnea or restless leg syndrome. Individuals suffering from these disorders should see a sleep specialist and be under a doctor's watchful care. However, the other 85% of insomnia is disordered sleep, a similar sounding medical condition that defines the more common and widely felt lack of quality sleep.
This is your wake-up call. It's time to make the lifestyle and diet changes necessary for your best night's sleep.
