One bad night of sleep can often cause alarm bells to ring & create more anxiety around your sleep, energy and health.
We need to normalise not creating anxiety associated with only 1 night of bad sleep. These nights happen, and are part of normal changes in sleep day to day.

Zoom out and look at the last month of sleep.
Around this time of year (December festivities) – even a few bad nights sleep have a small impact on your yearly average sleep duration. Zoom out.

if this becomes a consistent pattern or lower amounts of sleep are more frequent - there are definitely things to address. For most people, 1 bad night of sleep is relatively insignificant.
A few bad nights sleep in December aren’t that bad – enjoy the time with friends & family!
