What Does Sleep Mean for Your Emotional, Physical, and
Overall Well-Being?
Forming the right habits around sleep is known as
sleep hygiene, and although there is no single
“best” routine for sleep hygiene, there are some general principles
to follow:
If you feel that your sleep deprivation is bordering on insomnia, we recommend reading Quiet Your Mind and Get to Sleep by Rachel Manber and Colleen Carney. This book proposes solutions to those with insomnia-related mental health issues in a step-by-step manner that simulates the experience of seeing a sleep therapist.
Another book that is useful for those sleepless nights is 'Sleep Smarter' by Shawn Stevenson. This book provides 21 essential strategies to sleep your way to better health and bigger success.
This episode features the TED talk by Arianna Huffington entitled 'How to Succeed? Get more sleep' in which the negative consequences of sleep deprivation on concentration and anxiety are highlighted. She also has a book called 'The Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life, One Night at a Time'.
