Do We Need Sleep?

 

Everyone knows that we need sleep to stay healthy, right?

 

 

Right!  While it varies how much sleep one needs to rejuvenate & refresh their body & mind, the 'rule of thumb' is anywhere between 6 to 9 hours everyday on average.

 

 

And why do we 'need' sleep ...  we need it in order to fully relax that part of your nervous system that requires rest. 

 

We have 2 parts to our nervous system.  One demands action, activity, movement in order to stay balanced & healthy.

 

The other part of our nervous system demands rest & no movement. 

 

Without sleep or better put, 'restful sleep', our body's never shut down completely. 

 

We need to fully rest for the body to repair itself & rejuvenate itself.  It's the body's 'shut down' period.

 

Without it, we don't repair what went out of balance, what was overworked during the day.

 

'Restful' sleep is deep sleep that is not interfered with. 

 

Over a period of days, weeks, especially months & years, deprivation of continuous restful sleep is the catalyst for many illnesses.

 

If you're sleep deprived, I'll be talking about home made, inexpensive ways & remedies to create in you ways to have all the restful sleep you need.
