Nowadays, most people are considering sleep as a luxury, especially adults. That is why many are not getting enough sleep because they usually set their work as their top priority and put sleep in the last of their list. They thought that the little sleep they had, the better it is for them because they think time is being wasted when they're sleeping. But research shows that if you want to be healthy, having quality sleep is very important. Depriving yourself of sleep will affect your entire mind and body. Having enough sleep helps our mind and bodies in so many ways such as not being drowsy in daytime, having better concentration, not irritable, better balance and better productivity.
Have you ever tried not sleeping all night because you are preparing for your final examination? You’ve studied all night really hard, but when you are already in the actual examination, suddenly, it is as if you didn’t studied at all. You keep on forgetting what you have read. This is a usual scenario that most of us can relate into. This just shows that having enough amounts of sleep helps you organize memories, improve your concentration and solidify learning. It can also regulate your mood.
Benefits of Having Proper Sleep
Benefits our immune system. If you had tried working all day without sleep or just try watching TV for 24 hours, you will see yourself weaker the next morning or sometimes you will even find yourself with a cold. It is not a coincidence. This happens because sufficient sleep is very important to our immune system. Depriving yourself with it makes our bodies vulnerable to disease and infections.
Benefits our nervous system. This also helps repair and restore our neurons. Neurons are passages of our nervous system where both of our voluntary and involuntary commands are carried out. Voluntary commands include moving your arms, feet and head. Involuntary commands on the other hand include breathing and the process of digestion.
How will you know if the sleep you had is enough?
The sleep that we usually need is 8 hours straight per day. You may suffer from sleep deprivation if you had slept for less than 8 hours. You would probably experience difficulty of waking up in the morning, poor job performance and feeling moody or being easily irritated.
