In this video, we explore the often-overlooked importance of healthy sleep in a holistic health regimen. While most health discussions emphasize diet, weight control, and exercise, few address the role of sleep in overall wellness. "Healthy Sleep - How Important Is It?" examines the characteristics of healthy sleep, from duration and continuity to the rejuvenating quality that promotes daytime alertness.
We delve into groundbreaking sleep research that links sleep parameters to physical and mental health, revealing associations with conditions like hypertension, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and even mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression. The video highlights the risks associated with both too little and too much sleep, and how modern lifestyles disrupt our circadian rhythms, leading to "social jet lag" and increased health risks.
Discover why maintaining a consistent sleep schedule of 7-9 hours (or 7-8 hours for those over 65) is as essential to your health as a balanced diet and exercise. Learn practical tips for achieving restful, high-quality sleep to maximize health and longevity. Join us to understand why healthy sleep deserves a permanent place in any health conversation.
