The Importance of Quality Sleep
Quality sleep is crucial for cognitive performance and overall health, reducing the risk of conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Many adults struggle with sleeplessness; for example, 14.5% of U.S. adults reported difficulties falling asleep in 2020. The quest for sleep often leads people to quick fixes such as supplements or sleep aids, which can become distractions rather than solutions. Recognizing that insomnia is not primarily a biological issue can help individuals focus on more constructive responses to their sleeplessness.
