Sleep and Covid-19

Struggling with poor sleep during the pandemic? You’re not alone. The pandemic has increased anxiety, worsened depression, and led to excesses of screen time, all of which impact our sleep. Regaining control of your sleep habits is important because sleep benefits your immune system and affects how well a vaccine produces antibodies. So, in the midst of this unprecedented time, control what you can control: your sleep hygiene practices. Take a pledge to improve your sleep habits tonight.

Sleep and Mental Health

Even small amounts of sleep disruption can cause changes in stress hormones, alter brain functioning, and impact our ability to control our emotions. When we’re cutting back on sleep, we laugh less often, we’re more prone to angry outbursts, and everything hurts just a little bit more. So, for the sake of your well-being, take a pledge to improve your sleep habits tonight.

Sleep and Heart Health

Sleep health impacts every organ in your body, including your heart. Risk for cardiovascular disease increases in short sleepers (≤ 6 hrs) and persons with untreated sleep apnea (often marked by habitual snoring). The reason is that sleep loss increases blood pressure (hypertension), worsens inflammation, and aggravates your heart’s response to stressors. So, show your heart some love by taking a pledge to improve your sleep habits tonight.

Sleep and Learning

Feel foggy in class? Lack motivation to read your textbooks? Can’t remember what you studied on test days? Chronic sleep loss may be the culprit. Neuroscience studies show that sleep loss impairs the parts of your brain that sustain attention, thinks analytically, and consolidates memories. Classroom studies show that students who increase their sleep to 8 hours/night the week of a test improve their grades, so take a pledge to improve your sleep habits tonight.

“Millions of us are living a less than optimal life and performing at a less than optimal level, impaired by an amount of sleep debt that we’re not even aware we carry.”
