As we approached the longest day and shortest evening of the year and as summertime fun kicks into high gear, sleep becomes a much needed distraction of the season. That frivolity, however, shouldn’t stop someone from getting a good night’s sleep; but, unfortunately, that isn’t always the case as reported by The Better Sleep Council. The council found in its latest survey 62% respondents tossing and turning their night away, a 6% increase in poor sleep quality since its last survey in 2019.
Dr. John Marinkovic, DC, creator of Dr. Marink’s Pillows, has a few suggestions to help those lacking a good’s night sleep:

Sleep is the foundation of good mental and physical health. A poor night of sleep can leave you feeling irritable, fatigued, and forgetful, among other side effects. To avoid nights of tossing and turning, use these strategies for a better night’s sleep.
Chronic sleep deficiency, defined as a state of inadequate or mistimed sleep, is a growing and underappreciated determinant of health status. Sleep deprivation contributes to a number of molecular, immune, and neural changes that play a role in disease development, independent of primary sleep disorders. These changes in biological processes in response to chronic sleep deficiency may serve as etiological factors for the development and exacerbation of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases and, ultimately, a shortened lifespan. Sleep deprivation also results in significant impairments in cognitive and motor performance which increase the risk of motor vehicle crashes and work-related injuries and fatal accidents. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society have developed this statement to communicate to national health stakeholders the current knowledge which ties sufficient sleep and circadian alignment in adults to health.
About 1 in 3 adults — and even more adolescents — don’t get enough sleep, which can affect their health and well-being. Healthy People 2030 focuses on helping people get enough sleep, treating sleep disorders, and decreasing drowsy driving.
