How disrupted sleep can affect your health
Sleep is more than rest. It is as important for our bodies as diet and exercise.
Not getting enough sleep raises the risk of many diseases — from heart disease and stroke to obesity and dementia.
And it’s not just the amount of sleep that’s important — quality matters, too.
Coming up at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, MPR News Angela Davis and her guest talk about how our sleep gets disrupted and what can we do about it.
And we want to hear from you, too.
Do you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep? How does sleep — or the lack of it —affect how you feel mentally and physically?
Call us during the 9 a.m. hour at 651-227-6000 or 800-242-2828.
Guest:
Dr. Michael Howell is a professor of neurology and sleep researcher at the University of Minnesota.
