It's vital for good physical and mental health and wellbeing. It's important to appreciate why we sleep: to rest and repair our mind and body. Longer stretches of bad sleep can do the opposite and have a negative impact on our physical and mental health or wellbeing. Signs or symptoms of sleep problems include feeling down or having a lower mood, having difficulty concentrating, and being more irritable than usual. Longer-term sleep problems can affect our relationships and social life, and leave us feeling tired all the time, eating more and not able to do daily tasks.
