It\u2019s true! If you think about it\u2014sleep influences nearly all of the body\u2019s physiological systems. That\u2019s why when you don\u2019t get enough, nearly every aspect of your mental and physical wellness can be compromised.<\/p>\n<p>The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society recommend that adults aged 18\u201360 years sleep at least 7 hours. If you\u2019re not getting enough sleep\u2014you\u2019re not alone. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 35% of U.S. adults are not getting the recommended 7 hours of sleep each night.<\/p>\n<p>If you need some extra motivation to get to bed at a decent time, consider ways a <a href=\"\/natural-solutions\/sleep-solutions\/\">natural sleep aid<\/a> can produce\u00a0amounts of sleep that can help you live\u00a0your best life.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gnc.com\/supplements\/melatonin\/\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15556\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gnc.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-54.png\" alt=\"melatonin supplements\" width=\"801\" height=\"289\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>1. Immune Health<\/h3>\n<p>Your overall health can be greatly impacted when you don\u2019t get quality sleep, even affecting your immune system. That\u2019s because sleep and the circadian system can exert a regulatory influence on your immune health. Studies show that people who don\u2019t get quality sleep aren\u2019t likely to feel their best. In addition, a lack of sleep can also affect your overall health. Follow the recommendations of The National Sleep Foundation and aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep every night.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Body Weight<\/h3>\n<p>Some research suggests that there may be an association between poor sleep and weight gain. While the jury is still out on the exact relationship, there are a few theories as to how the two might be connected. Physiological studies suggest that inadequate sleep may impact metabolic effects related to weight gain<sup>3<\/sup>. It could also be that more hours awake means more hours to eat, leading to a greater daily calorie intake.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Sleep May Impact Brain Health<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to wellness, attitude is everything \u2014 and sleep might play a role! Research shows that cognitive performance involving attention, processing and mood may be associated with sleep.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Energy<\/h3>\n<p>Falling short of the recommended amount of sleep one night of the week isn\u2019t the issue; but when you don\u2019t get enough shut-eye night after night, that\u2019s where you may start to feel a dip in energy. Not only may inadequate sleep result in difficulty getting out of bed, it may also leave you feeling sluggish throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bottom Line:<\/strong> Sleep may impact more than your day-to-day functioning\u2014whether that\u2019s at work, at school, or just simple, daily activities. That\u2019s why wellness starts with sleep.<\/p>\n<h3>Tips For Better Sleep<\/h3>\n<p>It may be easier said than done, but good sleep starts with a quiet mind. If you can, take time to chill out in the evening by listening to soothing music or practicing mindful meditation. Turn off the electronics\u2014and we mean all of them\u2014an hour before bedtime.<\/p>\n<p>For extra sleep support, supplements may help. <a href=\"\/supplements\/melatonin\/\">Melatonin<\/a> and <a href=\"\/herbs-t-z\/valerian\/\">Valerian Root<\/a> are two dietary supplements that support restful sleep. L-theanine may also help by promoting a sense of relaxation and supporting a restful, relaxed state.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gnc.com\/herbs-t-z\/valerian\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gnc.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-62.png\" alt=\"valerian root supplement\" width=\"241\" height=\"280\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you aren\u2019t already\u2014it\u2019s time to make sleep a priority. Your body will thank you for it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not getting adequate rest can impact several aspects of your mental and physical wellbeing.
