The importance of Good Sleep

Good sleep is a need for human. There are some benefits we can get from good sleep.

Studies have shown that adequate sleep results in better cognitive function and a clearer mind during
the day. Results indicated that sleep deprivation impairs attention, working memory, vigilance, decision-
making, and long-term memory.

In a Sleep and Mood study done by Harvard, results suggested that healthy sleep can enhance well-
being, and inadequate sleep can cause more irritability and stress. Chronic insomnia was even linked to
a higher risk of developing mood disorders such as anxiety or depression.

Good sleepers (7-9 hours of sleep) had significantly lower signs of skin aging and also reported better
perception of their appearance compared to poor sleepers (5 or less hours of sleep).

A study done by The City University of New York showed that people who were sleep deprived or
suffered loss of sleep showed a preference for tasks which required minimal effort the next day. They
were essentially more lazy and had lower performance scores when subject to solving math problems
on a computer.

On of the benefits of sleep has been shown to play a crucial role in weight control. A study published in
The National Center for Biotechnology Information journal suggests there is a link between short sleep
duration and weight gain, particularly in younger age groups.

So, it is important that we have a Good Sleep at night, to health, our fitness so we do not get sick easily,
so that we remember the memory power is increasing and has better performance.
