Why Sleep is Important to Our Nervous System
There are few things worse than not getting a good night’s sleep. But sometimes even that extra cup of coffee is not enough to make it through the day. As a result, your work and relationships with those around you suffer.
Getting enough sleep is important for countless reasons, including the health of our nervous system. This goes for everyone, no matter their age or health. A good night’s sleep is foundational to our overall wellbeing.
Common Causes of Poor Sleep
Not being able to get a good night’s sleep can have a bigger impact on your overall wellbeing. Some of the most common causes of poor sleep in adults can include (but are not limited to);
- Aches and pains
- Insomnia
- Stress
- Weather changes
When we sleep poorly, it impacts more than just our mood and productivity. Let’s take a closer look at one of the big ways poor sleep can affect your everyday life.
How Poor Sleep Impacts Your Nervous System
If you suffer from poor sleep for one of the reasons above, then you may be impacted more than just how many times you hit snooze on your alarm. Poor sleep can actually have a negative impact on your nervous system.
According to information from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, “Sleep affects almost every type of tissue and system in the body—from the brain, heart, and lungs to metabolism, immune function, mood, and disease resistance. Research shows that a chronic lack of sleep, or getting poor quality sleep, increases the risk of health problems like high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, and obesity.”
How Alternative Wellness Can Improve Sleep
Thankfully, there are some ways that individuals can improve their sleep routine. One of the fastest growing options is alternative wellness. This blend of traditional alternative medicine and science is a fascinating branch that individuals from all walks of life have found beneficial in exploring.
For example, whole body cryotherapy has the potential to help many individuals improve their sleep. According to a 2019 study, “the use of 3-min WBC after training in the evening improves subjective and objective sleep quality in physically active subjects”.
In another study, researchers from the University of Arizona College of Medicine found that “Red and near-infrared exposure to the head and neck before bed may offer potential therapeutic benefits to sleep and daytime function, but further work needs to be done to determine optimal dose parameters, wavelengths, and milliwatt power level.”
While both studies are considered preliminary, they offer valuable insight into how beneficial alternative wellness has the potential to be. Studies like those listed above build a foundation for more in-depth research that broadens our understanding of these areas of science.
