KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Sleep deprivation significantly impairs the ability to suppress unwanted negative thoughts, making them feel louder and more intrusive. Prioritising sleep is crucial for mental well-being.
• Intrusive thoughts often arise from a subconscious survival mechanism, especially when the body is under stress or sleep-deprived. Recognising that these thoughts do not reflect one's true self can help alleviate anxiety.
• Alcohol consumption can lead to poor sleep quality and increased anxiety. It acts as a neurotoxin that dulls cognitive function and can exacerbate mood swings and intrusive thoughts.
• Implementing small, manageable lifestyle changes—such as drinking more water, reducing alcohol intake, or establishing a bedtime routine—can create a compound effect that improves overall well-being.
