For the sake of your sleep schedule.
A Sleep Medicine Psychologist Shares 3 Sleep Myths We Need To Stop Believing We all sleep—but how many of us sleep exceptionally well, night after night? Very few, I’d wager, which is why we have board-certified behavioral sleep medicine psychologist Jade Wu, Ph.D., DBSM, author of Hello Sleep, on this episode of the mindbodygreen podcast to drop her expert knowledge on every sleep issue keeping you from dreamland.
“If you're having a terrible night of insomnia, you can reassure yourself by saying, ‘Well, at least I can catch up a little bit tomorrow with my nap.’ So maybe that takes some of the pressure off and makes you less anxious.” Now, the problem arises when you nap too late or for too long—that takes away from your overall sleep appetite. “By being awake and active, hopefully by bedtime you saved up enough to buy yourself a good night's sleep,” Wu explains.

The Importance of Sleep for Physical and Mental HealthScientists have discovered that sleep is not a period of physical and mental inactivity, but rather a time when the body and brain perform essential functions for overall health. There are two main types of sleep, REM and non-REM, which play different roles in the sleep cycle.
