Correlation Between Sleep and Mental Health

In a public health study, researchers examined the correlation between sleep duration and mental health outcomes among adults aged 30 to 50. The study found that those who reported sleeping less than six hours per night were significantly more likely to experience severe anxiety and depression symptoms than those who slept between seven and eight hours. Furthermore, the researchers noted that environmental factors such as noise and light pollution played a critical role in reducing sleep quality.

This leads to the conclusion that improving one's sleep quality can have positive effects on mental health. However, the researchers cautioned that further studies are needed to establish a direct causal relationship.
