Getting quality shut-eye gives your brain a rest and can also boost your overall emotional health. According to research, people who do not get adequate sleep have significantly increased odds of mental health challenges compared to those who do.
If you ever feel groggy during the day, experience anxiety that keeps you from falling asleep, or can’t seem to get a good night’s rest, Citi offers resources and benefits that can help.
