A recent study links “intrusive and repetitive thoughts like those seen in anxiety and depression” with getting less than eight hours of sleep a night.
Researchers concluded that participants in the study who had received the least amount of sleep had the most difficulty in moving beyond negative information.
“These findings suggest that sleep disruption can affect the cognitive ability require to shift our attention away from negative stimuli.”
Thus, it is very important to get in at least eight hours of sleep. It is necessary for optimum mental and physical health.
