According to the Mental Health Foundation, ‘74% of UK adults have felt so stressed at some point over the last year they felt overwhelmed or unable to cope’.
Stress, if not managed properly, can seriously impact our health.
Low levels of stress are part of everyday life but the problem arises when we experience high levels of stress over a long period.
With the Olympics now underway there’ll be a fair share of sleepless nights as we catch up on all the action.
While we certainly don’t advocate staying up late every night to watch your favourite athlete, the Olympics might just be that little bit of inspiration you need to help you start that exercise routine.
We know that exercise has many benefits; sleeping better is definitely one of them.
But don’t worry, you don’t have to be an Olympian to feel the benefits of a good night’s sleep!
Monday 16th May marks the beginning of Mental Health Week.
According to the Mental Health Foundation: ‘Poor sleep is linked to physical problems such as a weakened immune system and mental health problems such as anxiety and depression.’
We spend a third of our life in bed, so why compromise on the cost of a good night’s sleep?
