Did you know May is Mental Health Awareness Month? Mental health, as defined by the World Health Organization, is a state of well-being in which an individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.

Having a consistent sleep schedule has many health benefits, both physically and mentally. It can help protect your body against sickness, as your immune system is stronger when your body is rested. It also lowers the risk of serious illness; for example, adequate rest each night helps to regulate blood pressure.
