​
Consequences of sleep problems and elevated levels of stress
Poor sleep and stress play a role in the development and/or maintenance of many chronic physical and mental health conditions (e.g. hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, anxiety).
Improving your sleep and healthy management of stress, provides man benefits including:
Concentration and attention, cardiovascular health, healthy weight management, reductions in depression and anxiety symptoms, and overall well-being.
How can you improve your sleep and reduce your stress?
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) endorses a combination of Sleep Hygiene and Stimulus Control (SC) for improving sleep. In fact AASM recommends SC as the highest standalone standard for improving sleep.
​
Recent articles in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that Mindfulness training can improve symptoms of insomnia, depression, anxiety and reduce fatigue pain.
​
“Mindfulness is awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally,” (Jon Kabat-Zinn, 1997).
