According to new research from The Mental Health Foundation, in the past month alone, poor sleep has led to 48 per cent of UK adults feeling more angry or irritable, more stressed and overwhelmed, or more anxious. As someone who struggled with insomnia and poor quality sleep for years, the fact that almost half of the UK’s adult population sleeps poorly didn’t surprise me, but it did worry me.
In a culture that rarely switches off and leaves many of us lacking quality rest, we’re often looking for tools and tricks to help us recharge properly. A decent sleep yields better mental health, better focus and improved productivity and with The Mental Health Foundation’s same research showing that most of us only sleep well three nights a week, no wonder we’re all seeking solutions for better sleep.
