Gentle Ocean Waves: The Necessity of a Good Night’s Sleep
The quality of our sleep creates a ripple effect that rises with dawn and impacts the day ahead of us. When we have not been able to fall asleep, or have risen in the middle of the night with racing thoughts, it is hard to get the rest we need – both physically and mentally. Poor sleep is a common experience, with modern day stressors pulling our minds into hours that are traditionally reserved for rest and rejuvenation. Even when the lights go off, it can be hard to find that deep sense of peace and release that carries us into a restful slumber.
Good sleep matters for our overall sense of wellbeing. Sleep and relaxation give us a chance to rest and restore our energy. Sleep affects everything from hormones to emotions to energy levels. A review of the research outlines a model in which sleep appears to help keep next-day emotional reactivity in check.
Sounds like these can be a gentle companion for winding down, not a treatment. If trouble sleeping continues, a doctor can help.
