SLEEP IMPACTS MENTAL HEALTH…
After a bad night’s sleep, it’s common to feel grumpy and irritable.

The opposite is also true: most people feel awesome after a good night’s sleep. Here’s why:

  • Sleep affects mood.
  • Less sleep → sadness, frustration, confusion, or low energy.
  • If you’ve been moody, note how much sleep you’re getting.
  • If you need help getting more sleep, talk to a trusted adult.

Watch this 4 minute video from Stanford CME on the impact of sleep on mental health.

If you have an extra 6 minutes, this is a great video from TED-Ed about The Benefits of a Good Night’s Sleep.
