Why a Good Night’s Sleep Matters
Did you know we spend about one-third of our lives sleeping? Sleep is not just for rest, it is important for your health and well-being.
When you don't get enough sleep, it can lead to health problems like:
- Weight gain
- Stress and mood swings
- Heart disease and stroke
- Trouble remembering things
- Depression
- Falling asleep while driving
In fact, drowsy driving causes over 1,500 deaths each year in the U.S., according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Over 60% of American adults report having sleep trouble a few nights each week, according to the National Sleep Foundation. Many people don’t realize that help is available.
