Thomas Dekker says, “Sleep is the golden chain that ties health and body together.” Sleep is one of the basics needs, deprivation of which might result in serious health issues. The life pace in the modern times is constantly increasing; so is stress owing to meeting the deadlines. As a result man has been compromising with his sleep. He has been cutting short his sleep hours to augment waking hours to accomplish his goals. The consequences have been drastic.
Sleep is as important to a healthy lifestyle as eating properly and exercising. Getting a good night's sleep is one of the simplest things we can do to stay healthy. A good night's sleep means waking up rested and invigorated. On an average, a healthy adult requires just over eight hours of sleep a night, according to Dr. Jeffrey Lipsitz, a Canadian expert on sleep disorders. Regular lack of sleep may cause many health problems.
Sleep is crucial to maintaining one's health. Without it, we increase our susceptibility to an astonishing array of health problems, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity and depression. According to Stanley Coren, noted professor of psychology and author of the very popular book, "Sleep Thieves" not sleeping enough can compromise your immune system. According to him the immune system works best when you are sleeping. It is during sleep that your natural killer cells are generated.
According to Dr. Michael Sole, a Canadian cardiologist, there is a higher rate of heart failure among people with sleep disorders and sleep disturbances. He goes on to emphasize that there is increased evidence of C-reactive protein, an indicator of heart disease risk, in people suffering from sleep loss.
Sleep deprivation also triggers obesity. Sleep is important in keeping not only our waistline trim, but ensuring a balanced brain activity too. During sleep, brain neurotransmitters-the chemicals that deliver messages between nerve cells in the brain-are replenished. When we do not sleep well, our brain chemicals become depleted which leads to emotional disturbances like depression, anxiety and general feelings of sadness, anger and irritation.
So if you really want to enjoy a long healthy life, have enough peaceful sleep every day.
