Most people are familiar with this adage. However, we hardly ponder over the wisdom behind it. It signifies the importance of a healthy sleeping routine. Unfortunately, due to sleep disorders, work schedules, and the fast-paced lifestyle of the 21st century, sleep does not come easily to everyone.
Research suggests that around “50 to 70 million Americans of all ages and socioeconomic classes are affected by sleep-related problems”. A big part of this population relies on prescription sleeping aids. The problem is that prescription sleeping drugs can cause side effects ranging from minor to extreme.
Sleep is an essential body function that recharges the mind and rejuvenates the body. Good quality sleep leaves us refreshed and keeps us alert in the morning. The brain cannot function properly without proper sleep, which is why sleep disorders can impair the ability to think, concentrate, and process information.
Moreover, adequate sleep is fundamental to a healthy body as it staves off diseases. For all these reasons and many more, it is essential to make sure you get sound and adequate sleep every night. Unfortunately, a large population suffers from a chronic lack of sleep and other sleep disorders.
Everyone would agree that life is not the same as it used to be before the COVID-19 outbreak. From the way we dress to the way we communicate and even commute, the pandemic has touched and influenced every aspect of life, and one of the most evident changes is the prevalence of face masks.

But did you know that apart from preventing the spread of COVID-19, wearing a mask can also help you get a good idea about your general health and hygiene?
Stress management during the COVID-19 pandemic has become one of the most discussed topics. The public health crisis has taken a toll on people’s mental health.

For these reasons, we have seen an upsurge in stress and anxiety cases.
