Sleep

You finally sit down at the end of a long day, ready to rest — but your body’s buzzing, your mind’s racing, and sleep feels impossible. Despite being completely worn out, you can’t relax. If this feels familiar, you might be caught in a “tired but wired” cycle — and it’s more common than you think.

Sleep and mental health have a unique relationship and often influence each other. Sleep is seen as our chance to allow our brain reset, restore and recover from the processing tasks of daily living. Without good sleep, our brain is not able to function fully. It is known that sleep disturbance can contribute to changes in mood, memory and concentration, learning, and onset or worsening of mental health symptoms.
