6 reasons why a good night's sleep is good for you

Posted by on 13 May 2010 | 0 Comments

1. A lack of sleep will compromise your immune system so having 8-10 hours per night maintains a strong immune system. 2. Too little sleep increases stress hormones and lowers levels of growth hormones which are essential for repair. By getting enough sleep you can help to slow the aging process. 3. Insomnia makes you unhappy, even depressed. By getting a good night's sleep you may feel happier and be able to cope with your day to day stresses. 4. Sleeplessness increases insulin resistance which is a precursor to diabetes type 2. 5. Your blood contains more of the appetite stimulating ghrelin hormones when you are sleep deprived. Therefore more sleep may make you less hungry. 6. Sleep improves concentration and memory.
