Sleep is extremely important to your health and wellbeing, but some people who have stomas feel anxious about sleeping, or find that problems with their stoma (such as leaks) disrupt their slumber. While you are asleep, your body is busy restoring and repairing, which promotes better physical and mental performance and improves mood. Not getting enough sleep can affect your concentration, how you feel and your energy levels. Everyone has a night-time routine, but those with a stoma may benefit from adding a few extra steps before settling down to ensure a good night’s sleep. Check out our website for more information |
