Sleep is vital for overall health, yet many people overlook its importance. Poor sleep quality is linked to a weakened immune system, increased risk of heart disease, and cognitive decline. Adults should aim for 7–9 hours of sleep per night to allow the body to repair and rejuvenate. Factors affecting sleep include stress, screen time before bed, and irregular sleep schedules. Good sleep hygiene, such as maintaining a consistent bedtime, avoiding caffeine late in the day, and creating a relaxing bedtime routine, can improve sleep quality. Prioritizing sleep enhances physical and mental well-being.
