The many health benefits to getting adequate sleep

You may be surprised to know that there are many health benefits to getting adequate sleep. Sleep research has shown that people who sleep longer and deeper have:


  • Better memory
  • Lowered inflammation (one example would be a lowered heart attack risk)
  • Increased creative thinking (due to the brain having been restored in your sleep)
  • Improved athletic performance with the same amount of effort
  • Sharpened attention (one example would be a lowered risk of a car accident)
  • Easier weight management
  • Easier to manage stress
  • Lowered rates of depression


These are just a few examples of the positive health effects of a good night’s sleep. If you don’t sleep well, you cannot function well and your quality of life may be severely reduced.
