With snoring, outside noise, and worries plaguing many of us before and during sleep, it can be difficult to get a decent night’s kip. A decent seven to nine hours of sleep is ideal, but many of us aren’t getting that, leading to a host of adverse mental and physical issues.
According to a Mental Health Foundation survey of 2,000 adults, the average UK adult only gets three days a week of good quality sleep, while 38 per cent of those surveyed said poor sleep negatively affects their mental health at least once per week. Not getting enough quality sleep can lead to you feeling angry, irritable, more stressed and overwhelmed, or more anxious. And over time, these problems can snowball into more severe health issues.
