How Well Are You Sleeping?
Recently, I read an article with research showing that newly diagnosed ALS patients have poor quality sleep, which the research associated with having depression plus difficulty turning in bed. To me, this news seemed so logical I wondered why they had to even “study” it at all!
First, being told you have ALS does lead to many nights of lying awake and worrying. To make matters worse, ALS symptoms affecting our arms and legs require us to learn new ways to roll over (or reevaluate our sheets and blankets).
Getting a good night’s sleep is super-important for our brain and body’s health. I found this short TED Talk helpful. Sleep is Your Superpower
How well are you sleeping? Good, or not so good? What are your tips to get a good night’s sleep?
