How Seasonal Changes Impact Your Sleep (Without You Even Knowing). Top Story - January 2021. Created with: Lull.
For a very long time I struggled to get a good night’s sleep. I was always either tossing and turning for most of the night because my bed was too hot, too uncomfortable, too squeaky, or simply too old. After hours of misery I would finally meet that first REM cycle, but couldn’t stay asleep for long because the discomfort was real! I genuinely thought it was just my seasonal depression which would sometimes trigger my anxiety. For those of you unfamiliar with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), it’s a form of depression influenced by seasonal changes. It can impact several areas of your life, including daily activities, your interactions, productivity, and your overall mood. But, I wasn’t awake because of any mental stress or agitation and I couldn’t pinpoint why—until I learned that my old, unsupportive mattress was partially to blame for how I was feeling, and the physical stress on my body.

Is Mental Health Physical? Is Physical Health Mental?
Is physical health mental health? Is mental health physical health? I like to think the answer to those questions is yes. I do believe that one’s physical health affects one’s mental health and vice versa. Why, though? What is it about these that connect them?

Let Go And Moving On
We all know how 2020 had a serious impact on virtually every one of us. I am a person who likes to plan things out in advance. I am 'so clinging to details type', but I learnt a great lesson in 2020. I found myself making three major life changes that I have not even thought possible, let alone executed. And I learnt a great lesson that disruptions can sometimes be good, and we should not look at disruption as always unpleasant.

Learning Self Care
Do you sincerely and deeply love yourself? I always thought that being too much into yourself is a bad thing. Turns out that in many ways, the opposite is true. Learning self care and love has been a mind blowing experience for me because I’m 27 and I’m learning that I truly haven’t taken care of myself. Even though in a lot of ways I believe that I have taken care of myself, I really have not.
