From a young age, we’re told to leap out of bed, slap on a smile, and start being damn well productive. Social media amplifies this myth. People use bullet-point lists – they tell us to work hard. Focus more. Wake up even earlier.
Yet this wide-awake culture doesn’t come cost-free. Sleep deprivation makes us irritable, exhausted and stressed. Against such impossible ideals, our jobs feel doomed, relationships strained, reputations at stake.
We blame this on anything but our basic need for rest. It’s not our fault. We live in a society that doesn’t respect the power of sleep.
But wait. The science is in: sleep improves mental health. After a good night’s rest, we’re better able to face life’s challenges with rationality and resilience. So it’s time we stop hitting snooze on our own wellbeing. Starting tonight: Rest up. Dream big. Sleep shamelessly.

"The problem with the eight-hour myth is, guess what, it’s a myth. Some of us need six-hours of sleep a night, some need seven, some need nine. Eight-hours is just the mean. Use how you feel as the benchmark, in terms of whether there might be an issue with your sleep."
"Working across multiple time zones, I often have meetings late into the evening, then find it difficult to switch off and go to sleep. I have been using Unmind’s sleep and mindfulness tools to help quiet my mind and help me fall asleep quicker."
"I was having trouble sleeping – going to bed with too much on my mind [and] thinking about what I need to do tomorrow. I have been listening to the Sleep Tales, which really helps to clear your mind for a good night’s sleep."
"The recent sleep spotlight, including the webinar, helped me understand good sleep better and [how to] take steps towards better sleep. Counting down from 1,000 in sevens has really helped!"
"During Covid I have experienced periods of insomnia and have found the Sleep Tales very effective for switching off at bedtime. So thanks for this, it’s been a big help."
