Sleep assumes a major part your health and prosperity in life. Receiving the right amount quality rest at the right times can help ensure your quality of life, physical well-being, mental well-being and safety.

The way you feel while you are conscious depends, to some extent, on what happens while you are not awake. Amid rest, your body is working to keep your brain healthy and keep up your physical wellbeing. In kids, sleep additionally supports growth and development.

Effects On The Brain And Your Emotions

Rest allows your mind to work properly While you are sleeping, your mind is getting ready for the following day. It is shaping new pathways to enable you to learn and recall information.

Some researchers demonstrated that sleep deficiency adjusts activity in parts of your brain. In the case that you are sleep deprived, you may experience difficulty deciding, adapting to change, solving problems and controlling your behaviour and emotions. Sleep deficiency has also been linked to risk-taking behaviour, depression and, in severe cases, suicide.

Effects On Your Physical Health

Sleep is a major factor in your physical wellbeing. For instance, sleep is involved with the mending and repair of your blood vessels and heart. Continual sleep deficiency has been connected to a higher chance of stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease and heart disease.

Sleep keeps up a healthy balance of the hormones that influence you to feel full (leptin) or hungry (ghrelin). When you do not get enough sleep, your levels of leptin go down and your levels of ghrelin go up. This makes you feel hungrier than when you have had a good sleep.

Your immune system is dependent on sleep to remain healthy. The immune system protects your body from unknown and harmful substances. Continual sleep deficiency can alter the way that your immune system responds to various attacks. For instance, if you are sleep deficient, you may experience trouble battling various common infections.

It's better to sleep when sharing a bed with someone you love. Warmth, a sense of security and peace in the soul, the uttermost peace, because you feel close to your own person, makes a dream stronger, healing for the soul and body.

Hah, I normally sleep 8-10 hours, less than I am so tired. Weekends 12 hours. XD :) Nice post. Followed!

Unfortunately, I cannot sleep as much as I wanted to. Aside from a dayjob, there's Tekken once I got home. After Tekken, check some online channels, leaving very little time to sleep.
Guess that explains why I feel like a zombie at the office :D
