"A good night's sleep is all about waking up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day," says Shelby Harris, MD, clinical psychologist and behavioral sleep medicine specialist. For most adults, achieving this involves six to nine hours of sleep per night, tailored to individual factors such as age and health.
"The quality of sleep takes priority over the quantity," says Nicole Moshfegh, MD. Sleep disruptions can prevent you from reaching deep, restorative sleep, which is key to feeling truly rested. Lack of restful sleep impacts every aspect of life, including mental and physical health.
"Sleep and mental health are closely linked in a bidirectional relationship," explains Moshfegh. Conditions like depression and anxiety can disrupt sleep, while inadequate rest can worsen or trigger mental health issues. Therefore, prioritizing sleep is crucial for overall well-being.
