Can Better Sleep Help Your Mood?

Yes. Sleeping better can help your mood. A team looked at 65 studies. When people slept better, they often felt less sad, worried, or stressed.

What can I try tonight?

  • Pick a time to go to bed and a time to get up. Try to stick to both.

  • Put your phone away 30 minutes before bed.

  • Keep your room cool, quiet, and dark.

When should I ask for help?

Tell your care provider if you often have trouble sleeping or still feel tired after a full night. Share when it started and how it affects your day.
