This year, you need more sleep. With the coronavirus dominating headlines and physicians always encouraging us to be physically active and eat healthy, it’s easy to forget the benefits of getting a good night’s sleep.
Sleep remains an essential lifestyle pillar for human health. A pillar we cannot afford to not reinforce and emphasize. We require sleep for many aspects of our lives, such as our mental health, work productivity, and to ward off infections, just to name a few. According to the National Health Interview Survey in 2018, only about 67% of adults aged 18 years and older reported receiving adequate sleep per night.
