Sleep is so important to our mental health. When we don't get the rest & recuperation that we need we often experience an up kick in "negative thoughts." These are thoughts that don't serve us like: self judgment, self criticism, and other cognitive distortions. When I notice that I have an increase in negative thoughts, I start with "something is off balance right now" and my first go to is to wonder "how did I sleep last night?" What ever our life situation may be, getting better sleep increases our emotional stability and resiliency .
