Are Your Anxiety Levels Rising Because You're Not Sleeping Enough?

Science confirms what our grandmothers told us – we need more sleep. Most people are cheating sleep and paying a slow but significant price as it changes our brain chemistry over time.

• Most of us are sleep-deprived and this has consequences that creep up very slowly
• Over the past 10-15 years, researchers have documented these gradual brain changes
• Sleep deprivation progressively increases anxiety levels
• Rising anxiety makes sleep even more difficult, creating a vicious cycle
• Mood changes follow, including increased frustration and grumpiness
• Neurofeedback techniques can help get the brain back on track
• Simply appreciating sleep's value and prioritizing it can make a significant impact

Do not cheat sleep and do everything you can to get more rest. While results aren't instantaneous, better sleep habits will make an impact on anxiety and mood if maintained consistently.

Well, your grandmother was right you need
more sleep.
You probably hear it all thetime Articles coming out get
more sleep, get more sleep.
And the bottom line is, it istrue, most of us are cheating
sleep and paying a price forthat.
That creeps up very, veryslowly.
Over the past 10, 15 yearswe've been able to document

(00:53):
those changes in the brain.
Slowly, we become more anxious,that anxiety creeps up a little
bit more.
That interferes with sleep.
Then our mood state changes.
We become grumpy, morefrustrated, and there's a shift
happening in the brain thatbecomes critical to turn around.
Now here at Kepler DistrictNeurofeedback we use
neurofeedback to assist ingetting the brain back on track.

(01:16):
But for most of you, the keypoint is simply to begin to
expand and appreciate the valueof sleep.
Do not cheat sleep and doeverything that you can to get
more sleep and you will see that, while it's not instantaneous,
that will make an impact onanxiety and mood state if you're
