Sleep is an essential aspect of overall health and wellbeing. Getting a good night’s sleep is vital for physical, emotional and mental health. The average sleep requirements for a healthy adult ranges between seven to nine hours a night. However, in today’s fast-paced world, with a multitude of distractions, getting quality sleep can be a challenge.
According to a recent study conducted by the Sleep Health Foundation, over 50 per cent of Australian adults are affected by at least one chronic sleep-related issue that is impacting their wellbeing and quality of life.[i]
Notably, inadequate sleep has been associated with the onset and control of various chronic illnesses and disorders, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and depression.
The term “good sleep hygiene” is often used to describe good sleep practices. Difficulty in initiating sleep, frequent disruptions during sleep, and experiencing drowsiness during the day are the most apparent indications of poor sleep hygiene. Furthermore, an inconsistent pattern of either the quality or quantity of sleep can also serve as a sign of poor sleep hygiene.[i]
Let’s shed light on the numerous actions one can take to improve sleep quality:[i]
Fatigue is often caused by insufficient or poor-quality sleep. To combat this, it is important to improve sleep hygiene by following the above-mentioned suggestions.
While making changes to sleep patterns, diet and lifestyle helps with overcoming symptoms of fatigue, the natural antioxidant, ubiquinol, may play an essential role in maintaining optimal health and energy levels in the body.[ii-iv]
Ubiquinol is a vital component that ignites energy production in cells. When energy production is low, it can lead to fatigue and sluggishness. As we grow older or face prolonged stress caused by various factors like diet, lifestyle, and environment, the natural levels of ubiquinol decrease. Additionally, free radical activity and oxidative stress that occurs in the bodies during normal metabolism increase as we age. Ubiquinol supplementation may help combat the impact of free radical activity and oxidative stress and may support to improve normal cells and finding balance in the body.[v]
Throughout life, experiencing fatigue is common, but it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional if fatigued is prolonged or to address other potential causes of exhaustion.
Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist consult your healthcare professional.
