Sleep plays an important role in memory, learning, attention, mood, and overall brain function.
Poor sleep quality may affect concentration, emotional balance, decision-making, and daily energy.
Sleep can be affected by stress, screen time, caffeine, pain, shift work, medications, sleep apnea, and irregular schedules.
Healthy sleep habits include keeping a consistent sleep schedule, reducing late caffeine, limiting screens before bed, and creating a calm sleep environment.
If sleep problems are persistent, severe, or associated with snoring, breathing pauses, daytime sleepiness, or mood changes, it is important to discuss them with a clinician.
