DANGERS OF INTERUPTED SLEEP  .  .  .

this recent sleep story discusses the dangers of interrupted sleep throughout the night. Although you may physically be in bed for 8 hours, that doesn't mean you are getting restful ZzZ's for that amount of time. Due to interruptions throughout the night, you could be getting as little as 4 hours of sleep which is a recipe for mood swings, inability to concentrate, and health issues such as weight gain.

This story also highlighted that going to bed later, may actually help you sleep better – "People who go to bed later have better moods in the morning than people who go to bed at their regular time, but whose sleep is broken up during the night."

 Dr. David Volpi, Sleep Expert and Founder of EOS Sleep Center in NYC
