Do you still feel tired in the morning after sleeping through the night? Chances are you aren’t actually getting a good night’s sleep. A third of U.S. adults ages 18-60 report getting less than the recommended seven or more hours of sleep each night, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Not getting enough sleep or experiencing poor quality of sleep can affect your overall health and well-being. Understanding how sleep can affect all aspects of daily living and developing better sleep habits will go a long way in improving your quality of life.
The number of hours of sleep your body requires will change during different stages of life. For adults, the recommendations are broken down as follows:
In some cases, you may be getting the recommended hours of sleep. However, the quality of sleep may be the bigger factor. Let’s look at what may be contributing to poor sleep quality.
There are a number of factors that can be signaling that you are not sleeping well at night.
Any or a combination of these factors could be directly affecting the quality of sleep that you are getting, or lack thereof. Interrupted sleep patterns can leave you feeling tired and cranky, and have less ability to concentrate throughout the day.
Insufficient sleep can lead to other chronic health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and depression. If you think you or a loved one may be experiencing one of these sleep disorders, talk with your healthcare provider about receiving a medical evaluation.
Implementing some or all of these tips can be the first steps toward developing better sleep habits and feeling more rested and energized. The providers at Bluestem Health Piedmont Clinic can work with you to monitor any health conditions that you may have that could lead to or be a result of more serious sleep disorders.
