Here you’ll find articles related to sleep. In our dozens of conversations with health experts, one tenet that has come up time and time again is the importance of sleep for your health. Along with diet and exercise, sleep is one of the most central factors that influences your mental and physical health, both in the long-term and short-term.
Sleep is when our bodies are given the chance to rest, repair, and recover. It allows our brain to synthesize everything we experienced throughout the day, to process memories and emotions. It allows our muscles to recover from any exercise or exertion throughout the day. It gives our digestive system a break, and strengthens our immune system. In short, sleep supports every bodily process. However, many people don’t prioritize getting enough sleep, and sometimes those who do strive to get enough rest have sleeping issues.
Read these articles to learn science-backed insights into the importance of sleep for your health, as well as holistic strategies for improving your sleep quality.
