Sleeping is Important to Health

• When you get a good night of sleep, your body awakens refreshed and is better able to deal with the situations of life. 
• A body that has not slept, is under increased amount of stress. 
• When you sleep soundly, you relieve stress and heal.

Six Reasons to Get Enough Sleep

A Harvard Health Publications suggested these reasons for getting sufficient sleep:

Disease

Sleep deprivation alters immune function, including the activity of the body’s killer cells. Keeping up with sleep may also help fight cancer.

Cardiovascular health

Serious sleep disorders have been linked to hypertension, increased stress hormone levels, and irregular heartbeat.

Mood

Sleep loss may result in irritability, impatience, inability to concentrate, and moodiness. Too little sleep can also leave you too tired to do the things you like to do.

Learning and memory

Sleep helps the brain commit new information to memory through a process called memory consolidation. In studies, people who’d slept after learning a task did better on tests later.

Metabolism and weight

Chronic sleep deprivation may cause weight gain by affecting the way our bodies process and store carbohydrates, and by altering levels of hormones that affect our appetite.

Safety

Sleep debt contributes to a greater tendency to fall asleep during the daytime. These lapses may cause falls and mistakes such as medical errors, air traffic mishaps, and road accidents.
