Sorry, but, this required a new study? Sleep is the most consistent way of preventing, and curing ailments. At even the slightest hint of feeling run down, I'll go to bed extra early.
Because as of right now, nobody cares.
After a few days of adjusting to the new noises, my quality of sleep dramatically improved and my anxiety attacks became less frequent and less severe. Not eliminated but much more manageable.
The importance of quality sleep is vastly underestimated.
(Data is not the plural of anecdote blah blah blah).
Wish I had thought of the 2nd pillow in my younger years..
Yes, it requires study, unless all of this is obvious to you:
"The twin cohort displayed distinctive pathway enrichment based on sleep duration differences. Habitual short sleep was associated with up-regulation of genes involved in transcription, ribosome, translation, and oxidative phosphorylation. Unexpectedly, genes down-regulated in short sleep twins were highly enriched in immuno-inflammatory pathways such as interleukin signaling and leukocyte activation, as well as developmental programs, coagulation cascade, and cell adhesion."
whule it's generally obvious that sleep makes you feel better, what's less obvious is that sleep deprivation an reduce immune activity when other factors are accounted for. Now we know, and that's good!
