How to sleep better at night
A bad night sleep might leave you grumpy and tired the next day, but it can also severely damage your health.
The process really is crucial to the health of both body and brain.
After one bad night, our immune system suffers and we struggle with concentration and memory.
And studies show a prolonged lack of sleep increases the risk of Alzheimer’s, heart disease, stroke, obesity and depression.
Lisa Artis, 38, a sleep adviser at The Sleep Council, said: Sleeping is not a passive process it is highly complex and has both mental and physical functions.
It regulates your mood, it improves your memory and plays a part in maintaining health, weight and energy levels as well.
It would be dangerous to underestimate what poor sleep can do to your health.
