Tip of the Day: Have enough sleep 😊
Scientific studies show that a lack of sleep causes many significant changes in the body.
Sleep is an important function for many reasons. When you sleep, your brain signals your body to release hormones and compounds that help:
- decrease risk for health conditions
- manage your hunger levels
- maintain your immune system
- retain memory
Poor sleep habits can increase the body’s energy needs. At night, movement and need for calories is reduced. But when you are sleep-deprived, your brain will release chemicals to signal hunger. This can lead to eating more, exercising less, and gaining weight.
Lack of sleep increases disease risk including:
diabetes, heart disease. obesity, obstructive sleep apnea
Sleep is a habit, just like eating healthy and exercise. While everyone misses a few hours of sleep sometimes, chronic lack of sleep is part of an unhealthy lifestyle and can increase your risk for serious health concerns.
Getting enough quality sleep is also key to a healthy lifestyle. Sleep boosts your immune system, manages weight loss, and retains memory. Whether it’s setting an alarm or getting a new mattress, you can take simple steps to help you get seven to eight hours. It’s never too late to practice good sleep hygiene.
