Sleep regulates mood. The better your sleep, the better you feel. This happens because during your sleep, your brain rests and does some repairs. This helps to reduce irritability and stress.
When you sleep poorly, the brain cannot function properly, disrupting serotonin and dopamine. And it leads to lower energy and motivation. Lack of sleep also increases cortisol (a stress hormone), making anxiety worse. Most people need 7-9 hours of sleep.
Restorative sleep improves cognitive function. Better cognitive function helps improve problem-solving and emotional resilience. Good sleep also enhances social interactions, reducing conflict and increasing feelings of connection.
When you get a good nights sleep, you end up with a well-rested brain that will experience more positive emotions. Better emotions lead to greater overall happiness.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
