It’s been almost a week since daylight saving time began, and if you are still trying to readjust your sleep rhythm, you aren’t alone. Getting a recommended seven to nine hours of sleep per night is not easy for a lot of people, especially when our internal clocks feel the shift of time changes, but experts say getting a full night’s sleep is important for many reasons.

Benefits of getting a good night’s sleep include more than just feeling rested the next day. They include boosted energy and productivity, improved cardiovascular health, lowered risk for diabetes, a healthier immune system, reduced stress, better social connections, and improved mood, among others.

As part of Sleep Awareness Week, the National Sleep Foundation shared a library of resources about the benefits of good sleep and an infographic with six ways to “Be Your Best Slept Self.” (Click the image to expand the infographic)
