What is the theory behind this Importance of sleep worksheet?
Sleep hygiene refers to sleep related habits. Maintaining proper sleep hygiene is linked with positive mental health outcomes, whereas poor sleep hygiene is associated with mental health difficulties. Our mind needs rest just as much as our body. Some have even called sleep a ‘fuel for the brain’. A focus on improving it can alleviate symptoms of depression.
