Sleep

One-third of our lifetime is spent sleeping. We now know the critical healing role of sleep — it helps us grow, repair our bodies, and strengthen our minds. Most adults need seven to 9 hours of sleep per night, and children and adolescents need an average of 9.5 hours of sleep or more every night.

Unfortunately, many of us do not get enough sleep. A lack of sleep can affect mood, thinking, learning, and metabolism. Chronic lack of sleep is associated with a range of serious medical issues, including the development of diabetes, poor diabetes control, cardiovascular disease, depression, and memory loss.

There are simple practices you can do to improve your sleep. Sometimes it is also necessary to shift thoughts and beliefs about sleep that may interfere with getting a good night’s rest.
