What you need to know
Better nights turn into better days. People often underestimate the importance of sleep to their overall health. Besides the obvious benefits to energy, cognition, concentration, and productivity, sleep plays a key role in your physical health. Studies show that chronic sleep deprivation causes weight gain, impairs your immune system, and increases the risk for heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.
With this Healthy Me 2020 program, you can learn how to develop some new habits that promote quality sleep.
Prioritize your sleep
If your sleep doesn’t improve after focusing on better sleep habits, consider seeing your doctor to rule out a sleep disorder.
