Sleeping and Dreaming - why is it important? How does it impact our mental health? | Human Givens
16 videos • 277 views • by Human Givens We all take sleep for granted until we have problems with it and then we quickly remember how desirable a good night's sleep is. The need to sleep is a fundamental human given and it is important for teachers, psychotherapists, employers and others to know something about it if they are to be effective. This is because all human abilities (like paying attention, memory recall and learning) are made worse by poor sleep and there is an intimate relationship between sleep and many psychological conditions — for example, depression, anxiety and psychosis. Whenever people seem to be having difficulties in their life always enquire about their sleep patterns.
