A healthy uninterrupted sleep is as important as breathing and eating. Although we live in a society where trading sleep time for getting more things done in a day is often the norm, the truth is that our brain and body require about seven to nine hours of sleep each night to stay healthy.
Sleep deprivation has negative effects on aging, immune system function, metabolism, reaction time, memory, blood pressure and our ability to focus. Sleeplessness, or insomnia, is a common complaint among many Americans and is one of the fall-outs of a stressful life.
Insomnia can result in various health problems such as anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue and even metabolic and digestive disorders. But don’t worry—a good night’s sleep is within your reach.
