Getting Enough Sleep May Reduce Your Risk of Mental Illness
When you don’t get the 8 hours of restful sleep you need, it can impact your whole outlook on life as well as your emotions and feelings of happiness. According to the National Sleep Foundation, the link between sleep and mental health has been seen time and again by researchers and doctors. A 2006 study in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that people with mild sleep apnea were twice as likely to have depression than those without OSA. The risk only increased with the severity of the sleep apnea. If you've noticed a correlation between your sleep and mental health don't wait to get help.
