Sleep Easy

Five reasons why plentiful sleep is vital to your health.

ONE - Sleep increases productivity - Scientists suggest we are 30% more productive early in the morning versus late at night, with the replenishment of sleep stimulating the mind and driving focus.

TWO - Sleep boosts your immune system and health

- Your immune system is designed to help you fight o illness and disease, but the more e cient it is, the better it will be at doing it. Sleep fuels that e ciency.

Increased rest also means weight gain can be lessened, with reduced burden on your heart, and lower blood pressure.

THREE - Sleep prevents accidents - People are generally more aware and alert, while recent studies show that you’re twice as likely to have a car accident when sleep deprived below seven six hours; and the chance of an accident is doubled for each hour under five hours.

FOUR - Sleep improves our memories - When we sleep, we dream – this is our mind’s way of processing events and thoughts, which includes storing away and compartmentalising what goes on in our lives.

E ective sleep means we make better sense of life events, and can approach new tasks with clarity and vigour.

FIVE - Sleep enhances our mood and general wellbeing

- While there’s no evidence to suggest people who claim to frequently get out ‘the wrong side of bed’ do so because of a lack of sleep, it’s true that poor and negative moods (encompassing anger, sadness, paranoia, frustration, irritability) are connected to insu cient sleep.
