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.
