Sleep is one of the most important routines in our lives and it is essential at any age. It is recommended for adults to sleep 7 to 9 hours every day. According to Sleep Foundation, sleep has benefits as the following;

  1. Improving mood – sleep helps a person to rejuvenate and improves energy level. Thus, it would impact a person’s mood positively.
  2. Promotes healthy heart – sleep reduces the heart rate and blood pressure which in return reducing the risk of heart disease, heart attack and heart failure
  3. Regulate blood sugar – sleep affects insulin in our body and the cells use glucose as energy when we sleep.
  4. Improves memory function – sleep is crucial for the brain to grow, reorganize, restructure and make new neural connections. Quality sleeps will lead to better concentration, decision making and problem-solving skills.
  5. Restores immune system – the body produces cytokine during sleeps which supports the body immune system. Chronic sleep loss could lead to common infection such as cold and etc.
  6. Relieves stress – good quality of sleep could reduce anxiety, depression or other mental health issue.
  7. Athletic recovery – our body produces the highest growth hormone during sleep which could help to repair tissue and promote muscle growth.
