HELP! (Series - EP 4) Don’t skimp on sleep—it matters more than you think, my love. If you lead a busy life, cutting back on sleep may seem like a smart move. But when it comes to your mental health, getting enough sleep is a NECESSITY, not a LUXURY. If you'd be truthful to yourself, Skipping even a few hours here and there takes a toll on your mood, energy, mental sharpness, and ability to handle stress, including your entire productivity for the day. Over the long-term, chronic sleep loss can wreak havoc on your health and outlook. While adults should aim for seven to nine hours of quality sleep each night, it’s often unrealistic to expect sleep to come the moment you lay down and close your eyes. Your brain needs time to unwind at the end of the day. That means taking a break from the stimulation of screens—TV, phone, tablet, computer—in the two hours before bedtime, putting aside work, postponing arguments, worrying, or brainstorming until the next day. #help #thegirlwhostoodupformentalhealthinnigeria #thewatersidetherapist #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth
