Sleep

Named by some healthcare professionals as the trending healthcare topic for 2020, the importance of sleep and its profound impact on human health has become a focal point for many practitioners.

Research on sleep continues to grow and support how diet, light exposure, and stress affect a patient’s quality of sleep. Working with patients on proper sleep hygiene and creating structure around sleep helps make the circadian rhythm more robust, resulting in better sleep quality and improved mood and energy throughout the day. As more people struggle with proper rest and energy, integrative practitioners will need to properly address sleep with their patients.
