POWER OF PROPER SLEEP
Benefits of Full Night Sleep
Categories: Life, Body and Mind
Lala. We all wish we had more of you. Yet it is still there. So. It’s not easy. And while feeling tired and yawning, all the time can cause, a lack of zzz can actually have a huge impact on our health. Experts say that you should aim to get between seven and eight hours a day, but what does that really mean?
Sleep Can Improve Immune System
When your body gets the sleep it needs, your immune cells and proteins get the rest it needs to fight off anything that comes its way – such as a cold or flu. And according to well-rested sleep experts at the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, proper sleep can also make vaccines more effective, which is obviously a plus.
Gaining Zzz Can Help Prevent Weight Loss
Collecting eight full hours of sleep will not result in losing lbs. itself, but it can help your body not to pack pounds. When you do not get enough sleep, your body produces ghrelin, a hormone that increases appetite. Your body also slows down the production of leptin, a hormone that tells you that you are full. Put them both together and that is one of the most dangerous combinations of the best dinner, my friend. In addition, if you do not get enough sleep you get depression and you do not have the energy to fight the urge to eat junk food. We are tired of thinking about it.
3.Better Sleep = Better Heart Condition
There is an old saying, “Get up on the right side of the bed.” It does not matter which side of the bed you are on, but sleep can lead to good results. And really, it makes sense. When you sleep well, you get up and rest. Relaxation helps your energy levels increase. When your energy level rises, small health challenges will not overwhelm you. If you are not angry, you are not angry. When you are not angry, you are happy. So, go to bed early and everyone around you will thank you for it.
4. Sleep Can Increase Productivity
You may think you are surprising your boss with burning midnight fat, but poor sleep can have a detrimental effect on work or school. In fact, sleep is linked to improved concentration and higher mental performance, both of which can help you succeed in the work. But one night’s rest can leave you feeling depressed, making it easy for you to make mistakes that the coffee pot can’t fix. When you talk about coffee, when you feel very tired, you are more likely to reach for that afternoon. And while that may seem to fix the problem of the afternoon crash you get, extra caffeine at night may set you up for another night’s sleep. Talk about the opposing cycle.
5. Sleep Can Increase Exercise Performance
Someone read the effects of sleep deprivation on basketball players and guessed what they found? When they did not sleep well, they were not the best basketball players. You may be thinking, “What is it then? I am the only MVP in my dreams. “However, sleep affects all forms of exercise. Restoring under cover helps with eye coordination, response time and muscle recovery. Also, sleep deprivation can negatively impact energy and energy.
6. Sleep Improves Memory
Although sleep gives your body the rest it needs, your brain is still working hard. It actually processes and compiles your memories from day to day. If you do not get enough sleep, who knows where those memories go. Or worse, your mind may create false memories.
The bottom line: Sleep well. And it is necessary. Roy Kohler, MD, a sleep specialist at SCL Health in Montana, confirms everything we know about the benefits of sleep, citing studies showing that people who sleep less are more likely to be overweight, overeat, have higher BMI, and are more likely to develop diabetes . “Sleeping seven hours a night is the only thing that is recommended for adults simply because they work during the day — being at work, staying awake during the day and being able to concentrate and not get tired during the day,” says Drs. Kohler.
While there will certainly be ebbs and flows in your sleep patterns, we hope this is enough evidence to convince you that you aim seven to eight hours a night for your mind and body to fully benefit from all the benefits.
