Financial worries, disagreements with coworkers, tension at home, illness, aches and pains—all of these can contribute to keeping you awake at night. Although you may think that a lack of sleep is no big deal, it does more than make you tired the next day. It’s bad for your overall health and happiness. Dr. Danoff tells us why all of us need to make sleep a priority.
How many hours of sleep did you get last night? If you’re like most American adults, the answer is probably less than the seven to nine hours generally recommended by many sleep experts. A lack of sleep can take a toll in many areas of your life, not least of which is your love life. If you’re not getting enough sleep, your stamina and focus may suffer—and difficulty sleeping can be a sign of bigger problems as well.
