The Importance of Sleep

Whoever said “you snooze you lose” was kidding himself.

Believe it or not, 1 in 3 American adults have trouble sleeping. Are you one of them? Getting enough uninterrupted sleep can make a world of difference for your mental and physical health.

You might not be getting enough sleep if you:

Have difficulty making decisions and solving problems
Feel like you could doze-off during daily activities, such as sitting in traffic or watching TV
Make mistakes and take longer than normal to complete tasks
Have trouble controlling your emotions
Have difficulty learning or remembering things
