The Importance Of Sleep | Part 1 The Side Effects Of Bad Sleep

Do you want to be as strong, enthusiastic, energetic and have a clear mind all day?

Well, how you feel during your awake time is determined by how well you slept the night before.

When it comes to sleep quality, the sleeping routine and pre-bed habits are crucial. I know this and what prompted me to share this is 

I desperately need to develop a healthier sleep routine myself.

Lack of sleep is well-known for causing attention problems, hormonal imbalances, and anxiety, as well as being a cause of a variety of illnesses.

So, How Important Is Sleep? 

The significance of good sleep cannot be overstated, as it has a positive impact on overall efficiency, wellbeing, and cognitive functions.

Going to bed earlier to boost sleep quality is important, as it will make it easier to deal with daily situations the next day. This I know to be true from when I was a sleep deprived Mumma of twins....daily situations were so difficult to deal with. 

Getting enough sleep will allow you to produce better results in less time, or in other words, your productivity will improve.

Aside from that, sleep is our body's deepest state of recovery.

During that time, the body recovers energetic substances and necrotic tissues, effectively rejuvenating itself and don’t we all feel like we can do with some rejuvenation?

Increased insulin resistance, blood pressure, and a cause for binge eating of fast foods are all issues caused by sleep deprivation.

As a result, this is a foundation for weight gain, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Due to the adequate overall recovery of the body during sleep, proper sleep is directly related to improvements in health, mood, stress perception and environmental awareness, as well as fitness results.

Yes, lack of sleep causes many negative consequences.

The Sleeping Cleanse

There's a system called "the glymphatic system" that works as a cleaning system and is particularly active when we're sleeping.

Through flushing them with cerebrospinal fluid, this device cleans up all the harmful byproducts of our energy expenditure.

As a result, we know that sleep is a necessity, especially in today's fast-paced world.

Thousands of people around the world are sleep deprived or suffer from insomnia for many different reasons and as we've already discovered, getting enough sleep is important for our fitness, appearance, and longevity.

Exhaustion is a normal condition for the average person and it happens after a long day of work or a challenging day with the kids for example.

The best way to get rid of the fatigue is to get a good night's sleep.
