As many of you are gearing up for the year, you are likely making plans and setting resolutions to ensure this is the best, most productive, and most wonderful year yet.
We are going to be sharing a few of the most common resolutions on our Facebook page along with some interesting facts and useful tips. If you are committing to one of these resolutions or have in the past, we'd love to hear from you! What have you found to be effective? What is the most challenging?
First up is a resolution that likely applies to the majority of our population:
How many hours of sleep do you average each night? Sleep experts recommend between 7 and 9 hours, though Americans average about 6.9 hours.
According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, approximately 70 million people in the U.S. have a sleep problem. Not only does lack of sleep lead to increased risk of heart attack or stroke, fatigue, weight gain, depression and more, but studies show that effects of this sleep loss costs the U.S. economy billions of dollars.
Many Americans experience sleep loss due to severe back pain and musculoskeletal pain, including arthritis. If you are experiencing chronic pain in your back or joints, give us a call to see if we may be able to help. With the advancements that have been made in pain medicine, it's crazy not to explore your options.
What tips do you have for getting more sleep? Please share your advice on our Facebook Page!
