Top 8 Reasons To Get Enough Sleep

Yeah, right now, I'm up and it's 3:56 A.M. I don't make a habit of this although I used to (even when I knew it could decrease brain cells). Sleep is difficult for some and uncomfortable or irregular for others. However, anybody who tries to claim that it is unnecessary has been proven otherwise...because:

• Sleep balances hormones. All sorts of hormones. Do you want to overeat tomorrow(and that's the least of it)? Thought not.
• Sleep protects your immunity. Why do they tell you to take a nap when something ails you? Why do you feel better upon your awaking? Better yet, why haven't you been sick? That's why.
• I remember, during my all-nighter phase of my high school years, bouncing off of walls and then falling asleep on a table. Sleep deprivation decreases your alertness as well as your ability to focus. No misinterpreting what people say, hurting yourself physically or falling asleep at the wrong time. Perform at your best both mentally and physically by allowing your body some repair time. Don't lose brain cells or muscle tissue.
• Sleep relieves stress. It soothes, calms, relieves, rejuvenates, revitalizes.
• No dark circles or puffy eyes when you rush out of your house.
• Enjoy your comfy bed.
• For those of us still at this stage, you can GROW. For those beyond this young adult stage, you can protect your heart.
  
• Live healthier, safer and longer than you would without it.
