Good Sleep = Good Health
Not getting enough sleep and/or not
sleeping well is not good for your health. Furthermore, there is a price to
pay. Chronic sleep deprivation significantly affects your health, performance,
safety, and pockets.
What Causes Bad Sleep
The stresses
of daily life may interfere with our ability to sleep well, or perhaps we trade
sleep for more work or play. We may have medical or mental-health conditions
that disrupt our sleep, and be well aware that we are sleep-deprived.
However, it is critically important
to realize that sleep deprivation is very often due to unrecognized sleep
disorders. After a typical night's sleep, you may not feel restored and
refreshed and be sleepy during the day, but be very unaware that you are
sleep-deprived or have a sleep disorder. You might think, "It's just the
stress of work or the kids," or you might have "always felt this
way" and had no idea that you should feel differently. This lack of awareness
compounds the consequences, because so many people remain undiagnosed for years.
