Discussion

When someone mentions the importance of healthy habits for eating and sleeping, people might think of things like:

• having a diet that provides adequate protein and carbohydrates as well as the importance of eating fresh produce
• getting 7-9 hours of sleep each night

However, after reading this module, you should recognize that there is more to developing healthy habits than that.

1. What do you feel might be the biggest challenge in maintaining healthy habits for eating and sleeping, for a person diagnosed with a disorder, like anxiety or depression? Explain your reasoning.
2. How has learning about sleeping and eating disorders changed or reinforced your thinking about your own sleeping or eating?
