How much sleep do adults need?

Adults up to age 60 need seven or more hours a night, on a regular basis; the CDC puts it at seven to nine hours from 61 to 64, and seven to eight from 65. Many people fall short: more than a third of US adults report usually sleeping less than seven hours.

Why does sleep matter so much?

Regularly sleeping less than seven hours is linked to weight gain, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke, depression, weaker immune function, more pain and more mistakes. Day to day, short sleep makes it harder to learn, focus and react, and harder to make decisions and solve problems; it also raises blood sugar above normal and makes common infections harder to fight.

How are sleep, stress and mood connected?

They pull on each other in both directions. Stress at work, family pressures or a traumatic event are common causes of insomnia, and insomnia in turn can leave you anxious, low or irritable. Loss of sleep is also one of the ways stress shows itself.

What habits help you sleep?

  • Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.
  • Keep your bedroom quiet, cool and dark.
  • Remember that the effects of caffeine can last up to eight hours.
  • Turn off electronic devices at least 30 minutes before bed.
  • If you don’t fall asleep after 20 minutes, get out of bed and do something relaxing until you feel sleepy.

For insomnia that lasts, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine calls cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) the most effective long-term treatment.

What helps with stress?

The National Institute of Mental Health suggests:

  • Exercise, and eat healthy, regular meals
  • Stick to a sleep routine
  • Avoid drinking too much caffeine
  • Try a relaxing activity, such as mindfulness or breathing exercises
  • Keep a journal
  • Notice and challenge negative, unhelpful thoughts
  • Stay in touch with friends and family

It may take some trial and error to find what works best for you.

When should I talk to someone?

If you have severe or distressing symptoms that have lasted two weeks or more, such as trouble sleeping, changes in appetite, losing interest in things you enjoy or trouble concentrating, talk to a health professional. If you are struggling or having thoughts of suicide, call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988, any time, day or night. In a life-threatening situation, call 911.

Testimonials

  • “Really impressed with the tour and the high-tech approach to non-invasive pain management.”
    “Really impressed with the tour and the high-tech approach to non-invasive pain management.”

    The treatments are designed for your specific needs and are adjusted as improvements are made. When I started my sessions I could barely tolerate side to side motion or strength training of any kind. Now that the sessions have unlocked the fascia in multiple areas I’m regaining range of motion, lessening the nerve pain, and able to challenge myself to strength training with the Vasper and Oxygen Therapy. I came to HumanBlu upon the referrals of several trusted friends after going through surgery to alleviate pain I was experiencing daily. I wasn’t sure what to expect but was really impressed with the tour and the high-tech approach to pain management in a non-invasive way. Within two weeks of sessions, I saw and felt improvements in energy levels, range of motion, balance issues, cognitive issues, and a reduction in pain. I have used the Pulse PEMF, Vasper, Oxygen Therapy, Infrared Sauna, and total Gut Restoration pre/pro biotic regime. My goal is to “energize to exercise” and get back to a healthy and active lifestyle which includes swimming, yoga, and strength training. The team at HumanBlu are assisting me in achieving those goals and I’m so thankful for their encouragement and support.

    “PEMF has absolutely helped with my anxiety/depression. I have done PEMF specifically on my head only once, but on the rest of my body an average of three times a week and that is benefiting me mentally! I am finding myself feeling much more energetic and not falling asleep mid day anymore. I have gotten off of medications and have just been doing PEMF because I have seen a tremendous, positive change in my mental health!”

Having had chronic back pain for 15 years, to the point where it was limiting my ability to do day to day things and sleep, I am overjoyed that I am able to not feel in pain 24/7”

    “PEMF has helped my knee pain tremendously. After using PEMF, they feel stronger, and less achey. Especially on cold days, they tend to get stiff, but with PEMF, there has been improvement. I am on my feet all day walking many miles for work, so it has been important for me to find a way to not have knee pain.”
