This guide from the Mental Health Foundation offers tips on how to sleep better. It looks at how to improve the quality of your sleep, what causes sleep disorders and possible solutions. You’ll find top tips from a sleep doctor, and a sleep diary template to help you keep track of your sleep.
Sleep affects how we use language, pay attention, and understand what we are reading and hearing. If we don’t get enough sleep, it can affect our performance, our mood, and our relationships. Sleep has also been shown to protect the immune system. The amount of sleep that each of us needs is different. However, it’s recommended that a healthy adult should sleep, on average, between seven and nine hours a night.
Good sleep doesn’t just mean lots of sleep: it means the right kind of sleep. This guide looks at the four main things that affect the quality of our sleep – health, environment, attitude and lifestyle.
