Did you know that quality sleep is just as important for brain health as a healthy diet and exercise? I often see the impact of sleep deprivation on my patients. During sleep, your brain consolidates memories, flushes out toxins, and strengthens neural connections.
Chronic sleep deprivation can lead to:
- Impaired cognitive function & focus
- Difficulty learning & retaining information
- Increased risk of neurological disorders
Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night for a sharper, healthier mind!
Here are some tips for better sleep hygiene:
- Establish a regular sleep schedule
- Create a relaxing bedtime routine
- Optimize your sleep environment (cool, dark, quiet)
- Limit screen time before bed
Prioritize sleep for a healthier, happier you!
