Who doesn’t like the sweet, sweet slumber?
Everyone does.
Sleeping is probably that one naturally occurring bodily function
which is loved, envied and even abused by a lot of us. A few hours of
shut-eye are pretty important when it comes to almost everything. It
helps us relax, is vital for our moods, keeps our immune system in-sync
and so on.
The list of benefits seems obvious, but scientists have always been
intrigued to know how it REALLY helps us (because that’s what they do).
Be it sleeplessness or inability to fall asleep at time, the damage is
instant. But a good night sleep or even a good nap can aid you in a lot
of ways.
Here are some health benefits of a good night’s sleep according to science:
1. Increased Brain Power
The
first at foremost organ that gets affected by both irregular and just
sleep patterns is the brain. After a long day, your brain needs time to
recover and how does this happen? through sleep. While the brain never
completely stops working, the activity levels during your slumber
decrease. And If your brain doesn’t get that break, it will pretty much
fry up.
