Sleep and mental healthAs it turns out, our sleep patterns correlate very closely with our degree of emotional wellness. Our poor sleep patterns can drive the stress that contributes to anxiety, depression and our ability to focusPoor sleep also disrupts engagement in activities that support emotional wellness. I find that the development of better sleep habits is among the quickest, most effective ways to improve mental well-being for an individual or a family. If you would like to see your kids or spouse get better sleep, set a clear bedtime for them, and for yourself. Just like it takes time to create poor sleep habits, it will take some time to develop healthier sleep hygiene.
