Sleep yourself happy

You know when you wake up feeling like you’ve been hit by a truck, leaving you tired and irritated all day? Or maybe you know the opposite feeling? Waking up after a restful night and starting your day full of energy and in a good mood? Yes, it’s true! Our sleep has an enormous influence on how we feel.

Good sleep, good mood

Sleep isn’t just a time for peace and quiet, but also an essential regeneration process for body and mind. While we sleep, stress hormones are eliminated, our emotions are processed, and “happiness” hormones like serotonin and dopamine are regulated. If we sleep too little or badly, we’re more likely to suffer from mood swings, irritability and, possibly, from long-term mental complaints such as depression and anxiety.

Here are a couple of reasons why restful sleep is essential for a positive mood:

• Hormonal balance: a lack of sleep disrupts our hormonal system: the stress hormone cortisol, in particular, increases while serotonin and melatonin decrease. The result: a bad mood, inner unrest and a lack of drive.

• Emotional stability: in deep sleep, our brain processes emotional experiences. If we sleep well, we can cope better with stress and negative emotions.

• More energy and motivation: restful sleep gives us the strength to face the day with a positive attitude. We feel like we can perform better, our concentration improves, and we’re more resistant to stress.

How you can improve your sleep in
a natural way

It’s often small changes in our daily lives that can have a big impact on our sleep. Here are a couple of tips for better sleep quality:

• Sleep at regular times: our bodies love routine. Try going to bed and getting up at the same time every day – including at the weekend.

• Introduce some evening rituals: relaxing activities such as reading, meditating or taking a warm bath all help the body to wind down.

• Avoid electronic devices: the blue light from smartphones and tablets inhibits the production of the sleep hormone, melatonin.

• Use natural support: plants such as lemon balm, passionflower or ashwagandha can help the body prepare itself for sleep.
