1. Think smarter
A good and quality sleep makes you more composed and improves cognitive functions on all levels.
2. Less stress
When your body is deprived of sleep, it enters a state of stress with increased blood pressure and hormonal imbalance. Quality sleep limits the level of stress – blood pressure does not rise, which makes hormones balanced.
3. Live longer
Studies by the World Health Organization show that people who sleep at least 7 hours a day live longer than those who do not provide their bodies with safe sleep.
4. Be happier
Quality sleep, between 7 and 9 hours, increases serotonin levels and helps your body and mind to be calmer and more content.
5. Remember more
When you sleep, your brain goes through a system called memory consolidation and then processes and connects everything that happened to you during the day, and shapes it into a permanent memory.
6. Eat better
During sleep, your body “repairs” – it produces proteins and regenerates cells, so you will look healthier and fresher with quality sleep.
7. Help your body
A good night’s sleep can help with chronic pain or pain from a recent injury.
8. Be fit
The hormone leptin, which plays a key role in regulating your appetite, drops drastically when you don’t get enough sleep, which can cause you to overeat. Maintaining leptin levels can be encouraged by quality and good sleep.
9. Raise immunity
Too little sleep can cause damage to the functioning of your immune system. Make sure you get enough sleep to help your body fight off viruses during flu season.
10. Reduce risk
Study after study has established a link between sleep deprivation and some serious health problems, such as heart disease, heart attacks, diabetes and obesity.
