Sleep deprivation doesn't just make us cranky; it significantly compromises our physical and mental health. Studies show that chronic insomnia increases risk for a multitude of problems including heart disease, high blood pressure, hypertension, diabetes, inflammation, infertility, depression and anxiety.

Practice good sleep habits. Resist the urge to zone out on social media or TV in bed. Make your room cool, dark and quiet. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep.

Check out the evidenced-based free online app called CBTi Coach, which allows you to keep an online sleep diary and access a variety of tools such as deep breathing and muscle relaxation techniques.

Mental Health Awareness Month

Take time today to de-stress and unwind. Return to a hobby you enjoy or try a new one.

Did you know that being outdoors reduces stress and energizes your senses? Gardening provides exercise, aromatherapy, healthy nutrition, community, and a sanctuary space.

"Forest bathing" is an ancient Korean and Japanese practice where people walk slowly in the forest, inhaling organic fragrances that have anti-anxiety and stress-reducing effects. Gardening works the same way. Researchers have found that gardening improves physiological and psychological well-being, improves quality of life (including life satisfaction and social connectedness) and mental health, with reduced depression, anxiety and stress.
