Sleep and stress go
together like chalk and
cheese. A paper in Open
Medicine found insomnia
and sleep deprivation can
cause depression, while
The American Journal
of Medicine discovered
persistent insomnia
increases your risk of early
death. North Western
University researchers
even found deficits can't
be undone by including
an extra long lie-in on the
weekend. The solution
could involve treating
yourself like a child,
keeping bed times regular.
Reuters say this constant
helped reduce stress levels
and drastically improved
sleep duration and quality
so, in other words, it's as
important to set an alarm
to go to sleep as setting one
to wake up...
