When sleep gets interrupted, your afternoon can pay the price.
⢠Low-quality sleep increases sleep pressure, making you feel sleepier the next day.
⢠Your circadian rhythm naturally dips in the afternoon. When youāre carrying extra sleep pressure from a disrupted night, that dip can feel even stronger.
⢠After you eat, hormonal and metabolic changes can add to that natural dip in alertness.
Avoid the 3 p.m. crash by getting more restful, undisturbed sleep the night before. Discover how personalized TEMPUR-PedicĀ® Sleep Systems can help you catch all the Zzzs you need.
