Sleep Deprivation and its Effect on Your Health

Although seven to nine hours of sleep a night is recommended by health experts everywhere, almost one-third (29%) of adults in the United States sleep for less than 6 hours each night. Practicing unstable sleeping habits could have negative short and long-term effects on your physical and mental health.

Because of this, more and more healthcare practices are adopting a patient-centered method of care.
