A third of adults in the United States reportedly get less than the recommended amount of sleep. A consistent lack of sleep has consequences. Being sleep deprived can increase the risk of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and depression, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

Sleeping well is not only for comfort, but it’s essential for good physical and mental health. 

Host Daniela Contreras and Enloe Physical Therapist Alexa Janicki go over the importance of sleep and ways to improve your slumber.
