- Sleep DisordersBy increasing your overall sense of well-being, you’ll feel better about life, which will help you sleep at night. A study conducted by researchers at the University of Manchester in England looked at how gratitude affected people’s sleep. They discovered that even among people living with sleep disorders, gratitude was associated with falling asleep faster and sleeping longer.
- Family PracticeA study conducted by the University of California, San Diego showed that heart patients who had higher levels of gratitude had better moods, higher quality sleep, less fatigue and less inflammation, a symptom that worsens with the progression of heart disease. Paul Mills, professor of family medicine and public health at the University of California, San Diego, who led the study, concluded that “it seems that a more grateful heart is indeed a more healthy heart.”
