While we often look to what happens at night when individuals sleep, it is increasingly important to see how individuals behave during their waking hours to better assess how well they are sleeping. Studies show that adults should be getting no less than 7 hours of sleep per night to maintain proper sleep hygiene. When one doesn’t receive proper sleep, a number of comorbidities and conditions can occur and start to affect everyday life. Oftentimes, individuals are unaware they are not receiving the proper sleep needed and find themselves suffering from a lack of productivity, trouble concentrating, irritability, and more.
If it takes you less than five minutes to fall asleep, it's likely that you're sleep deprived. Interestingly, the average person falls asleep within 7 minutes.
