Do you find yourself struggling to get all of your agenda items done each day? If so, you may be tempted to skip a few hours of sleep each night to squeeze more productive hours out of the day. Don’t. Sleep is one of the most productive and helpful things you can do keep stress at bay, according to mental wellness firm Amare Global.
The commitments of modern life have many individuals living with virtually 24/7 schedules. As a result, you may feel as though you simply don’t have time to sleep. However, if you believe that sleep is overrated, your body would tell you otherwise. In addition to making it hard for you to concentrate, a lack of sleep can contribute to a bad mood. On top of this, researchers have tied chronic sleeplessness to issues with controlling your blood sugar and thus a higher chance of suffering from diabetes as well as obesity. Lacking sleep can also increase your appetite.
Because a lack of sleep can wreak havoc on your body, Amare Global offers Project b3—a stress management program in which a key principle is to get plenty of sleep. According to the company, you can improve your sleep by establishing a regular time for going to bed and waking up. In addition, avoid using electronics an hour before you hit the sack, and avoid bringing your smartphone into your bedroom. Furthermore, try to do a calming activity right before you go to bed, especially if your nerves are frayed due to stress.*
Of course, if you're experiencing chronic stress, you may still find it difficult to fall asleep quickly—and stay asleep all night long. As a result, you may not be getting enough productive, good-quality sleep each night. This, in turn, can lead to more stress, and the vicious cycle continues. Fortunately, Amare Global’s Sleep+ can further help you by encouraging your body to produce melatonin. This product is designed to encourage refreshing, restful sleep without next-day grogginess so that you can start functioning at your optimal level from one day to the next.*
