Sleep in uncertain times
It is exactly during times of social uncertainty and anxiety, when we need sleep the most, that it is most disrupted.

Sleep problems
- Anxiety over the future and fear for the health of loved ones increase hyper-arousal and rumination, thus intensifying insomnia.
- Isolation from regular social rhythms and natural light will mess with our body clock, confusing us about when we are supposed to feel tired and when to perk up.
- The smartphone age has already led to a substantial deterioration in both duration and quality of sleep.

Regulating our sleeping patters
In this period of social distancing, we should focus on improving our sleep.
Many of us can now sleep in and organize lives in ways that suit our biological ticker.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
