How Sleep Can Influence Your Mood and Well-Being

Can sleep affect your mood?

Absolutely! Remember the night you were up all night doing a project? You had a sick child, you stayed up all night caring for and comforting that child, or some emergency came up and you couldn't sleep all night. The air conditioning went out. It was 100 degrees in Houston.

The next morning you were miserable, you were cranky, you were short-tempered. Sleep affects your mood like nothing else can.

Sleep better, your mood's better. Sleep worse, your mood's worse. You want to have a better, more outgoing mood, you want to be happier all day long, get a great night's sleep the night before.

Sleep, again, is nature's wonder drug. Can't emphasize that enough.
