Heath Benefits of a Great Night’s Sleep

Heath Benefits of a Great Night’s Sleep

Everyone knows how bad you feel when you don’t get a good night’s sleep. You are tired, irritable, and in a brain fog. It affects your entire day.

According to the National Institutes for Health, not getting enough quality sleep regularly raises the risk of many diseases and disorders such as heart disease, dementia, obesity, and even strokes.

They break it down into three areas; How much sleep you get, the uninterrupted quality of the sleep you get, and a consistent sleep schedule.

They assert that our brains totally change function when we sleep. Much like a kidney removes waste from the body, sleep prepares the brain for learning, remembering, and creating.

In their studies, they found that toxins were removed from the brain twice as fast when we sleep. Everything from your blood vessels to the immune system uses sleep as a time of repair.

Uninterrupted, quality sleep, is so important to your health.
