To Sleep or not to Sleep

In 2016 a consumer report showed that as much as 68% of Americans, 164 million reported insufficient sleep. On the other hand, only 1 in 10 Americans surveyed considered sleep a top priority. Sleep affects our productivity health and mood but it is often not considered as important as it is. Our bodies have time to rejuvenate and build immunity while we sleep. Sometimes sleep loss is inevitable, such as times when one has an infant or a sick child. At other times emotional turmoils or fluctuations in hormones may cause a temporary disruption in sleep. However, there are times that we lose sleep because it is not a priority. We may also disregard it's importance at that time in favor of hanging out, talking on the phone, working or watching a movie. The recommended amount of sleep is at least 7 hours a night. The number of hours that leaves you feeling rested depends on the individual. Some adults require more than 7 hours of sleep. The starting point for getting better sleep is making it a priority.
