Approximately 12 million French adults struggle with poor sleep. Yet, prioritizing quality rest delivers profound benefits for both physical health and emotional well-being. Research from the University of Warwick in the UK, published in the journal Sleep, shows that a good night's sleep elevates mood comparably to striking it rich in the lottery.
To reach these findings, scientists tracked 30,500 British participants over four years. Those reporting improved sleep quality also scored higher on physical and emotional health assessments—with mental states mirroring the euphoria of a lottery winner pocketing around $250,000 (€232,000). Ready to unlock this lottery-like bliss? Cathy Goldstein, M.D., assistant professor of neurology at the University of Michigan, shares expert advice featured in Time: Aim for at least seven and a half hours in bed nightly, monitor your daytime energy and mood, and banish screens from the bedroom. It's a simple formula backed by science for transformative rest.
