Sleep well to live long and have a healthy life!

Quality sleep offers numerous benefits for overall health and well-being.

Improved Mood: Adequate sleep restores the body and enhances energy levels, positively impacting an individual’s mood. Conversely, insufficient sleep can lead to anxiety, depression, and irritability

Healthy Heart: Quality sleep promotes cardiac health. During rest, heart rate slows down, and blood pressure decreases, allowing the heart and vascular system to recuperate. Insufficient sleep increases the risk of heart disease, heart attack, and heart failure

Regulated Blood Sugar: Getting seven hours or more of sleep each night helps regulate blood sugar levels. Insufficient sleep leads to insulin resistance, increasing the risk of Type 2 diabetes

Improved Mental Function: Sleep supports memory consolidation and cognitive thinking. Brain plasticity theory suggests that sleep allows the brain to grow, reorganize, and form new neural connections, enhancing problem-solving and decision-making skills

Restored Immune System: Sleep strengthens the immune system, helping the body fight infections and illnesses effectively.

Stress Relief: Quality sleep reduces stress hormones, promoting overall well-being.

Enhanced Athletic Performance: Athletes benefit from adequate sleep, as it aids muscle recovery, coordination, and focus.

Maintaining Healthy Weight: Sleep influences hunger hormones and appetite regulation. Lack of sleep disrupts these mechanisms, potentially leading to weight gain

Adults (18 to 64 years): Aim for 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night.
Teenagers (13 to 18 years): Need 8 to 10 hours of sleep.
Children (6 to 12 years): Require 9 to 12 hours of sleep.
Young children (3 to 5 years): Benefit from 10 to 13 hours of sleep.
Toddlers (1 to 2 years): Need 11 to 14 hours of sleep.
Infants (birth to 3 months): Typically sleep 14 to 17 hours

Sleep is good for you!
