8 Facts of How Sleeping Can Improve Your Well-Being

8 Facts of How Sleeping Can Improve Your Well-Being

Do you wake up feeling tired or unrefreshed most mornings? If so, you aren't alone.

A hectic life filled with work, family, and responsibilities can make it hard to get a good night's sleep. But sleep is critical to overall good health.

In fact, sleep is just as important as eating right and getting enough exercise. Having a regular sleep schedule, along with a healthy lifestyle, can help you feel better and improve your well-being.

Here's a look at 8 amazing benefits of a good night's sleep. 

1. Strengthen Your Immune System

Sleep is important in maintaining healthy immune function. Your immune system identifies and protects you from viruses and bacteria that can make you sick.

Continuous lack of sleep interferes with the way your immune system operates. Your immune cells become more sluggish and may not attack harmful pathogens as quickly as they should.

Lack of sleep also disrupts your stress hormones and leads to inflammation in the body. This can increase your risk for diabetes, cancer, and other diseases.

Getting enough sleep can help strengthen your immune system, reduce inflammation, and keep you healthy and energized.

2. Retain Mental Sharpness

Getting enough restful sleep is critical for proper brain function. Sleep deprivation can affect your cognition, productivity, and concentration. 

As you sleep your body and brain rest in order to function and perform the following day. When you don't sleep well at night, you may find yourself forgetting things or feeling cranky and short tempered. 

When your body gets the rest it needs, you're more alert and have the energy you need to be active throughout the day.

3. Maintain a Healthy Weight

Poor sleeping habits can lead to weight gain. In fact, sleep deprivation is a major risk factor for obesity.

When you're tired, you're less likely to have the motivation to eat healthy or exercise. If you need to lose weight, sleep should be an important part of the plan.

A sleep-deprived brain doesn't function at its best. This affects the sleep hormones that help control appetite.

When these hormones are out of balance, it affects your ability to make smart food choices. The time you spend sleeping affects the time you spend eating and doing other things in your life.

Making sleep and a priority can help you feel better and maintain a healthy weight.  

4. Protect Your heart

As you sleep, your blood pressure decreases, allowing your heart and circulatory system to rest. The longer you're awake, the longer your heart works at full capacity during a 24-hour period.

High blood pressure is dangerous over time and can lead to heart disease, high cholesterol, and stroke. Getting a good night's sleep has multiple health benefits, including allowing your heart to rest and recover.

5. Lower Your Stress Level

If your body is sleep-deprived, it affects your stress level. Your body is put on high alert, and this can lead to high blood pressure and an overproduction of stress hormones.

Your body needs sleep to restore itself. Your mental and physical health depend on it.

Establishing a nightly routine may help you fall asleep. Taking a warm bath, unplugging from technology, using essential oils, or practicing meditation may help you relax and unwind from the day.

Experiment to find what works for you. If you have insomnia that persists, it's a good idea to talk with your doctor about the problem. There are many options available that may help you sleep better.

6. Boost Your Mood

Lack of sleep can make anyone irritable. When you don't sleep, your mind can't rest and that leads to worry and stress.

Sleep deprivation can lead to high blood pressure and increase the stress hormone cortisol in your body. When you're tired, you're less likely to want to socialize with friends or family or participate in the activities you enjoy.

Persistant lack of sleep shows on your face and makes you look tired to others. A good night's sleep restores you, boosts your mood, and helps you feel more optimistic about the start of a new day.

7. Perform Your Best

If you enjoy exercise such as tennis, swimming, running, biking or others, you know it takes a lot of physical and mental endurance to perform your best. Lack of sleep robs you of energy and the time you need for muscle repair.

Sleep deprivation also saps your motivation and prevents you from doing your best at work, school, sports, or whatever you need to accomplish. During sleep hours, the body rejuvenates, repairs tired muscles, and restores your energy.

Getting the sleep your body needs will help you be your best self and perform better at everything you want to do.

8. Restore Your Mind and Body

Sleep helps us feel better but it's also the time the body heals and repairs itself. It's hard at work repairing the damage from ultraviolet rays, stress, toxins, and other harmful exposures.

Your body produces more protein while you sleep. These protein molecules are the building blocks for cells. While you sleep, they help repair and restore your body.

Sleep restores the mind as well and impacts many chemicals that regulate mood and happiness. When life is hectic and your time is limited, don't dismiss the restorative power of sleep.

Improve Your Well-being With Sleep

Getting enough sleep on a regular basis is one of the most important things you can do improve your well-being and maintain good health. Your body is made to perform during the day and rest and rejuvenate during the night.

If you aren't making sleep a top priority, consider establishing a new routine that includes time to rest and unwind at night before falling asleep. Be sure to have quality sheets and soft, comfortable bedding to help you drift off into dream land each night.
