Sleep

Getting enough sleep is just as important to your health as exercise and a balanced diet. Restful regular sleep is crucial to safety, productivity and overall well-being. Sleep is not just a period of time that you aren’t awake. The brain is active and goes through several distinct phases during the night.

Each phase is necessary for different functions we have to perform such as:

• Energy for quality of life.

• Brain function for thoughts and making memories.

• Safety to avoid accidents.

Long-term effects from lack of adequate sleep can lead to health problems like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
