- Sleep helps our brains work well. It helps us listen, pay attention and understand what people say or what we read. When we don't get enough sleep, we can feel grumpy, find it hard to do things, and get upset with others more easily. Sleep also helps our bodies fight off germs so we don't get sick.
- Different people need different amounts of sleep. But most adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night.
- The mental health benefits of good sleep include boosting our mood, reducing stress and helping with anxiety.
- If you're having trouble sleeping, knowing how to sleep better can make a big difference.
- Good sleep isn't about sleeping for a long time. It's about getting the right kind of sleep.
On this page, you will find links to information on things that help us sleep well: our health, our bedrooms, how we feel, and what we do each day.
