How a Lack of Sleep Can Affect You

When you struggle to get enough sleep or struggle to stay asleep, it can really affect your mental and physical health and take a toll on your body. Sleep helps our bodies in more ways than we may realize. Without proper sleep, your body is at a higher risk of heart disease as well as other conditions such as obesity, depression, and high blood pressure. Sleep is incredibly important for regulating your body.

Tips to Help You Fall Asleep

There are many different tricks and tips that your doctor in Bradenton, FL, may recommend that you can implement to help you sleep better at night. Some of the tips include techniques such as:

  • Creating a cozy, sleep-inducing bedroom. Comfort can make falling asleep a little easier.
  • Optimizing your sleep schedule. Sticking to specific sleep and wake-up times may help your body get into a natural rhythm.
  • Find time to move during the day and see the sun. Our bodies are regulated by light exposure and keeping active during the day helps your body relax at night.
