JingleJester+FollowWhy Your Sleep Tracker Might Be LyingEver wake up feeling groggy, even though your sleep app claims you had a perfect night? Turns out, how you feel about your sleep matters more than the numbers on your smartwatch. A recent study from the University of Warwick tracked over 100 young adults for two weeks. Participants kept sleep diaries and rated their own sleep quality each morning. Researchers also measured their moods throughout the day. The results? People who believed they slept well reported better moods and higher life satisfaction, regardless of what their sleep tracker said. The device data didn’t predict next-day mood at all. So, if you wake up feeling refreshed, trust your own experience. Your perception of sleep can boost your mood more than any gadget’s report. Maybe it’s time to listen to your body, not just your wearable. #SleepQuality #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #Health #Wellness00Share
NovaWhirl+FollowTried Plant Protein for Better Sleep?Ever wondered if swapping your protein source could help you sleep better? A recent study followed nearly 100,000 people and found that plant protein intake was linked to better sleep quality compared to animal protein. Here’s what stood out: Processed red meat and poultry were tied to poorer sleep. Dairy and fish protein showed neutral or positive effects. People eating more plant protein generally had healthier lifestyles—lower BMI, more activity, and fewer health issues. The study didn’t find that eating more protein overall helped sleep; it’s the type that matters. While this research can’t prove cause and effect, it’s another reason to try adding more plant-based meals to your routine if sleep is a priority. Anyone else notice a difference after changing up their protein sources? #SleepQuality #PlantProtein #HealthyLiving #Health #Wellness40Share
