How Much Sleep Do We Need?
Dr. Merckling knows that healthy sleep habits are an important pillar of your good health. Back, neck and musculoskeletal pain may interrupt your sleep. And according to the National Sleep Foundation at the CDC, patients report a better night’s rest after chiropractic care.
Sleep-deprivation can have long-term effects on mental and physical health:
- Increase risk of stroke
- Contribute to co-morbid disease like type II diabetes, coronary artery disease and obesity
- Affect learning, energy levels, memory, mood, productivity and reaction time
- Create hormonal imbalance, hallucination, and in extreme cases, death
