Insomnia can wipe out every ounce of happiness from your life. It will make you lazy, unproductive, and above all unmotivated.

No amount of coffee can ever fix the lack of good-quality sleep. You need sleep to perform better in life, work, and relationships.

Poor sleep schedule is a big marker for mental health problems like anxiety, stress, and depression. You can’t function well without 7–8 hours of high-quality sleep.

Your Thoughts Are the Biggest Sleep Killer

Your brain needs sleep the most but sometimes it can be the biggest hindrance in getting good quality sleep.

Dr. Aric A. Prather, a sleep psychologist believes that rumination is the biggest reason why most of us lie awake in bed till the wee hours of night.

Your negativity bias facilitates rumination easily. Your brain gets stuck in a loop about the stupid things you did or said that day. This happens every day when your head hits the pillow.
