Why Good Sleep Is a Key to Health

Sleep is when your body repairs, your memory sorts the day and your energy recharges. Poor sleep can affect mood, focus, weight and immunity.

What good sleep does

  • Restores energy for the day ahead.
  • Supports immunity to help fight infections.
  • Sharpens focus and memory.
  • Balances mood and appetite.
Going to bed and waking up at similar times each day is one of the best sleep habits.

Better sleep tonight

Keep your bedroom cool and dark, put screens away before bed and avoid caffeine late in the day.

When to ask for help

If you often snore loudly, wake feeling unrefreshed or struggle to sleep, talk with a healthcare professional.
