Your lack of sleep is killing you – How you can stop it now!

Ever feel like your body is exhausted and but your brain is active and making to-do lists for the next day? Room too hot/cold/noisy or bright, you’re too stressed or you just can’t put down that phone. Many or all of these are getting in your way of falling and staying asleep, leaving you with a huge sleep deficit that’s only adding up.Scraping by without sleep has almost become a ‘cool’ thing amongst young working adults in high-stress jobs. But all those waking hours without any respite add up and the toll it takes on you isn’t ‘cool’ at all.If you think of your mind as an efficient smartphone that does a hundred different things for you through the day, think of sleep as the battery juice that makes it all possible. But if you’re always running on almost empty, at some point it's going to lead to a ‘Power OFF’.While restful sleep supports healthy brain function and maintains your physical, emotional and developmental needs, chronic sleep loss only contributes to problems. Sleep deficiency fractures your decision making and problem-solving skills as well as your hormones, fertility and creative skills. It has been linked to a whole spectrum of health issues including Obesity, Diabetes, Hypertension, Depression, and even Suicide.So, how much sleep do we really need? Adults need anywhere between 7 to 8 hours of sustained sleep to function efficiently. But cultivating good sleep habits isn’t too hard a task. Sleep and wake up at roughly the same times, avoid strenuous exercise, activity, large meals, alcohol, caffeine, nicotine and bright lights just before bedtime. Yes, that includes switching off your cell phone and trying sleep helpers, if you need to relax.Need a little extra help? Sleep aids include everything from Melatonin and Meditation and Herbal infusion and calming white noise. While melatonin dosages can be tricky and learning to meditate successfully usually takes a long time, white noise is a quick, handy tool.
