If sleep evades you like your office crush (shame), you’re not alone. Around 30 to 40% of people have insomnia and experts suspect the rates of sleep apnoea are similarly high. And getting sub-par zzz’s spell more trouble than you’d think. Aside from affecting your day-to-day and making it harder for you to concentrate and maintain a slim physique (if that’s what you’re after), a lack of sleep can affect memory. A 2021 study looked at people who reported having insomnia when they were younger, and then had issues with cognition years later. The biggest issue? People who had trouble falling alseep reported higher rates of memory and thinking issues.
Rest easy knowing there are more than a few hard-working sleepytime products that’ll help you drift off, for real. From form-correcting beds to potions and lotions, there’s something for everyone and whatever stands in the way of you and restful sleep.
