THE IMPORTANCE OF
SLEEP
Sleep is a naturally recurring state characterized by reduced or absent
consciousness, and the inactivity of nearly all voluntary muscles.
Sleep timing is controlled by the circadian clock, and in humans, to
some extent by willed behavior.
Sleep is restorative, and without it we are not able to work, learn,
create and communicate at our highest level. With time, lack of sleep
can lead to mental and physical breakdown.
Sleep has also been shown to be linked to the immune system. Sleep
loss can impair our immune function.
When we sleep, our metabolic rates reduce and free radical production
is decreased, allowing restorative processes to take over.
Sleep supports higher-level cognition functions such as decision-
making, reasoning and memory.
Understanding sleep, the power of it and how to get as much high-quality
sleep as possible is one of the healthiest things we can do.

HOW MUCH SLEEP
DO WE NEED
There is no protocol to how many hours of sleep we should get,
the best way to evaluate it is to monitor how we feel throughout the day.
If energy is low, memory is poor and we don’t feel alert, then chances are
we need more sleep.
