Benefits Of A Good Night's Sleep by msharib86(f): 6:12pm On Jul 08, 2014
1. KEEP YOUR FIGURE
Watching your weight can be as simple as getting a good night's sleep. Lack of sleep can make you put on weight by drastically slowing your metabolism down,
according to a study by scientists at Uppsala University in Sweden. The research suggested getting plenty of sleep might prevent weight gain.

2. YOU CAN CONCENTRATE BETTER
We have all woken up after a good night's sleep ready to take on the world. But IKEA's Slumber Survey found one in three Australians rate their sleep as'poor'to
'terrible'. A bad night's sleep can leave you struggling all day. More than half of us will have problems concentrating after sleeping badly, according to a
survey by shopping channel QVC.

3. YOU'LL BE IN A GREAT MOOD
Nearly two thirds of people blame lack of sleep when they feel irritable, according to the QVC survey. IKEA spokesman Angela McCann says:"It's unsurprising
only 1% of those asked in the Slumber Survey claim to feel fantastic when they wake up. The lack of sleep and the ensuing tiredness is likely impacting on
people's judgment, problem-solving and creativity."

4. YOU LOOK MORE ATTRACTIVE
Regular shut-eye actually makes you look healthier and more attractive, according to a 2010 study published in the British Medical Journal. Research
photographed 23 people after a period of sleep deprivation and after a normal night's sleep of eight hours. The photos were shown to 65 people who rated
each photo based on health attractiveness and tiredness. The sleep deprived group scored lower in all three categories.

5. ABILITY TO MAKE BETTER INFORMED DECISIONS
We're all heard of sleeping on a problem, in the hope that come morning the solution will be clear. Well scientists have found that when you do this your
brain still looks for a solution, even when you're asleep. Even if you don't wake up with an answer, a good night's sleep will equip your brain to assess the
problem afresh.
