What is defined as good sleep health? * Good sleep should be deep enough to be restorative, duration, and continuity. * Miss one of these and you are not getting good sleep. One night of poor sleep negatively impacts attention span, memory recall and learning ability. * Fourteen nights of just six hours of sleep is equivalent to 2 nights of total sleep deprivation.... * Poor sleep impacts hormones causing increased hunger and appetite. This can lead to an increased risk of obesity and diabetes. On the other hand, individuals who get quality sleep are perceived as more attractive, youthful, and alert. Sounds good doesn’t it? Sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea can be one of the causes of poor sleep. It can be characterized by restless sleep or overall tiredness. Be sure to rule out a medical condition as the root cause of your inadequate sleep. Step up to good sleep health with Independent Respiratory Services.
