Even if we want to relax, many of us fail to find the time to do so. Sleep doesn't just benefit our brain, but it recharges our body physically as well. According to Dr. Michael Twery, "Sleep affects almost every tissue in our bodies".
We all know that we cannot perform at our best when we are drowsy. Having a good night sleep enhances our focus, our thinking abilities, and our reflexes. Some research also suggests that sleep can affect the effectiveness of vaccinations. On the other hand, according to the NIH, sleep deprivation can lead to diabetic-like conditions in healthy people.
You don't need an expert to tell you that sleep is good for you, but these pros and cons of sleeping might provide you with extra motivation to find the time to get in some more sleep.
