Sleep associations can have a significant impact on the quality and quantity of our sleep. When we rely on certain factors, such as a specific noise or environment, to fall asleep, we may struggle to sleep well without them. This can lead to disrupted sleep patterns and difficulties falling or staying asleep. Breaking these associations and creating new ones can be a challenge, but it can ultimately lead to improved sleep. By understanding and addressing our sleep associations, we can take steps towards better sleep and overall health.
