International Sleep Day, also known as World Sleep Day, is observed annually on the Friday before the Spring Equinox. The purpose of this day is to raise awareness about the importance of sleep and its role in maintaining good health.Whether you are a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper, this day is a reminder to prioritise your sleep and take steps to ensure that you get the rest you need to stay healthy and happy. On International Sleep Day, we speak to Integrative lifestyle expert Luke Coutinho who delves into how sleep impacts your overall physical and cognitive health, shares tips, and more.
How does deep sleep impact cognitive function and productivity?
Coutinho: Deep sleep has every connection with impaired cognitive function and productivity. Every other consultation of mine is with a patient who is sleep-deprived, and at least 1 out of 4 of them is suffering from brain fog, grogginess, headaches, low mood, and memory issues due to this. They blame it on age, and while it`s normal for every organ to undergo a gradual decline in its function, the fact is that even young men and women are going through this too.
When talking about productivity, we chase time management, the Pomodoro technique, enhancing focus, cutting out distractions, and guzzling beverages like tea or coffee to ‘alert’ our brain. And while all of that is fine, we seldom tap into a deep rest.
