Zzzzz Zzzzz
Sleep. Everyone does it. Some of us
do it better than others, waking up
rested and ready to go. Others of
us? Not so much. There are myriad
reasons people don’t get a good
night’s sleep – lack of exercise, an
uncomfortable mattress, a stuffy
bedroom, too much stress at home
or on the job keep your mind from
relaxing.
If you’re one of those people who
wakes up tired, you may want to
see about changing that. It could be
a life-changer.
There are many benefits to getting
a good night’s sleep:
• Get sick less often
• Stay at a healthy weight
• Lower your risk for serious
health problems, like diabetes
and heart disease
• Reduce stress and improve
your mood
• Think more clearly and do
better in school and at work
• Get along better with people
• Make good decisions and
avoid injuries and accidents
