Q. I don’t sleep too well, will this affect my long-term health and can nutrition help?

A.

Sleep in particular is one of the basic essentials for optimum health.  Disturbed sleep patterns do contribute to illness, ailments, premature ageing, fatigue, irritability and affects memory & concentration.  Good sound sleep on the other hand rests our bodily systems, boosts our immune system and helps absorption of foods & nutrients that we have eaten during the day. 

Some people need more sleep than others and 6-8 hours on average should be adequate, although some people can feel refreshed after just a few hours.  No matter the length of sleep it is important that people wake up refreshed, not tired, and everyone needs to adjust to their own rhythm.  If they sleep less at night they can take a nap during the day, as even a few minutes of sleep or meditation can refresh the brain.  Many experts are now saying that the key to feeling energetic and focused in the morning is not so much our sleep patterns, but what we are doing when we are awake.  

Nutrition, dietary and lifestyle changes can definitely help with sleep and nutritional supplements should also be considered.
