46% of People with Below-Average Sleep Quality Rate Their Mental Health As Poor Mental Health and Sleep: A Two-Way Street May is Mental Health Awareness Month. If you've ever faced challenges with your mental health, you've probably noticed how significantly it can impact your sleep. That translates to less sleep, poor quality sleep, and feeling exhausted the next day. People who report poor or very poor mental health sleep nearly an hour less (6.3 hours vs. 7.2 hours) than those with above-average mental health. This missing hour may seem insignificant, but it's a telling indicator that something deeper is affecting your well-being. With that missing hour of sleep, you may be more irritable the next day, struggle to focus, or lack motivation. Acknowledging and addressing these signs of poor sleep is crucial for safeguarding your mental health and overall quality of life. We've compiled 7 top tips to help prevent anxiety from ruining your sleep. Ready to take the first step towards better sleep and mental health? Learn More

The Role of Magnesium in Sleep and Anxiety Magnesium supplements have shown promise in enhancing both sleep quality and in managing anxiety. This essential mineral helps regulate neurotransmitters, which send signals throughout the nervous system, and melatonin, which guides sleep-wake cycles in the body.

Depression, Sleep, and the Negative Feedback Loop  Poor sleep can often be a telltale sign that your mental health might need a bit more attention—it's like your mind's gentle nudge, saying, "Hey, something's up, and we need to address it." You may find yourself sleeping more yet still feeling fatigued or feeling perpetually tired but struggling to fall asleep at night. These patterns are particularly common in anxiety and can feel almost unavoidable if you're suffering from depression. Ignoring the warning signs of poor sleep and its impact on mental health won't make the problem go away; in fact, it's only likely to worsen over time. It's crucial to understand the steps you can take to safeguard your mental health and improve your sleep—and to recognize when it's time to seek help from a professional. Learn more about how you can take action and when it might be necessary to consult with an expert. Learn More
