March is Sleep Awareness Month

March is a time dedicated to highlighting the importance of sleep and its impact on our overall well-being. Sleep is essential for good health and quality of life. However, many people struggle with getting enough sleep.

Why Sleep Matters
Getting the recommended amount of sleep—typically 7 to 9 hours per night for adults—has numerous benefits, including:

• Better Mental Health – Quality sleep reduces stress, anxiety, and the risk of depression.
• Increased Productivity – Well-rested employees are more focused, creative, and efficient.
• Stronger Immune System – Sleep helps the body fight illness and recover faster.
• Improved Heart Health – Poor sleep is linked to higher risks of heart disease and high blood pressure.
• Healthier Weight Management – Sleep regulates hunger hormones, reducing cravings for unhealthy foods.
