Lack of sleep affects our memory and ability to think clearly, and sleep deprivation can lead to neurological dysfunction such as mood swings and hallucinations. Sleep difficulties are associated with adverse effects on well-being, functioning, and quality of life which can disrupt family life, well-being, and the ability to care for children or oneself.

The ability to pay attention to the body and notice our internal states is called interoception, which is also what regulates our nervous system.
When we practice interoception and stay in the present moment, we build more resiliency. When we can engage with our world and what is happening (vs. what happened in the past) we can stop the nervous system from going into fight or flight. This builds our capacity and window of tolerance over time.
