Impact On Health

Good sleep hygiene is associated with improved quality of sleep among people (Baranwal et al., 2023). This quality of sleep results in improved cardiovascular health, improved mental health, memory consolidation, improved immunity, enhanced cognitive abilities, improved hormone regulation, and reproductive health (Baranwal et al., 2023).

Ramar et al. (2021) notes that sleep is a biological necessity required by all. Insufficient sleep and untreated sleep disorders are detrimental to human health, human well-being, and public safety. It is essential to promote sleep quality among people, as this reduces and eradicates sleep-related problems and improves general human health. Activities outlined to help promote sleep quality include exercising regularly, avoiding daytime naps, avoiding heavy meals close to bedtime, and limiting screen exposure (Castro-Santos et al., 2023). Sleep is effective in preserving the physical and mental health of humans, as well as in maintaining cognitive capabilities like learning, memory, and depressive emotions, especially among older people (Alanazi et al., 2023). Good sleep hygiene practices result in lower sleeping challenges and are favorable to individuals with mental health challenges.
