Do you know why doctors say we need 8 hours of sleep? Think of your body like a mobile phone. After a long day, it needs to be plugged in to reach 100% battery. If you don’t charge it fully, it will be slow and glitchy the next day.
Here is exactly what happens when you get a full 8 hours of sleep:
Clears Your Mind: While you sleep, your brain is busy organizing your thoughts and saving your memories. It also cleans out waste from the day, which helps you wake up feeling fresh instead of foggy.
Heals Your Body: Sleep is when your body fixes itself. It repairs your muscles and makes your immune system stronger so you don’t get sick as easily.
Makes You Happier: Not getting enough sleep can make you grumpy and easily annoyed. A good 8 hours keeps your mood stable and helps you handle stress.
Protects Your Heart: Good sleep helps control your hunger and keeps your blood pressure normal, giving your heart a nice break.
No one knows the value of sleep more than healthcare students! I try my best to get atleast 6 hours of sleep. We truly need to recharge if we want our brain to work at its maximum potential
In today’s hustling culture the hours spent on sleeping is commonly not paid attention to. I feel if this issue is not addressed in time it will be a major contributor to reduction in life-span of human beings in a few years.
So true. Something that all of us need to understand and work on, not only medical professional or tohers who are bound to put their work before their basic necessities. Any form of work, requiring physical or mental straining or both, requires the brains to focus and the body to adapt. This is can only happen when and sustain only when the body receives it’s fuel, it’s source of energy.
Proper sleep is important for both mental and physical health, but it is often neglected. Taking care of our health is essential, because poor health can cost us both time and money. Thank you for simplifying this topic with such a relatable daily-life example.
Everything needs rest and so is our body. A good sleep pattern, helps us work better. However, many of us ignore sleep to chase important deadlines , working overtime by depriving our bodies the rest it requires.
