Updated: Jan 11


The Importance of Getting Enough Sleep: How Much Do You Really Need?



As you know, we recommend our healthy choice mattresses in our clinic, as we recognise sleep as essential for normal daily functions 


But, are you the 1 in 3 adults that are NOT getting enough sleep?

The Centre for disease control and Prevention recommends between 7 and 9 hours of sleep a night.


What are signs that you might not be getting enough sleep?


1- You are distracted. This is because the brain is looking for distractions to keep you awake. 

2- You're anxious. Studies have found people can be 30% more anxious when they are sleep deprived. 

3- You're angrier. A 2018 study found that people were more likely to get angry and lose their temper over minor disturbances 

4- You're less patient with workmates. a 2017 study found that the pre-frontal cortex is affected by sleep deprivation and leads to a loss of self-control 

5- You take bigger risks. This can include driving and gambling according to research
