Sound sleep is a prerequisite for sound health. Every healthy human being should have six to eight hours of sleep every day. According to a research, it has been found that sound sleep is associated with increased patience, optimism, focus and more. The study with over 1,400 respondents discovered meaningful correlations between sound sleep and several qualitative lifestyle metrics. The respondents with sound sleep during the previous night were more likely to report feeling energetic, rested, productive, attractive, focused and optimistic on the following day. However, many of us often neglect our sleep and deprive ourselves for the sake of work or pleasure, which is not wise.
Sound sleep plays a vital role in keeping us hale and hearty, and protects our mental and physical fitness. The damage from chronic sleep deprivation can be fatal. Our immune system depends heavily on good sleep to stay healthy. It is also thought that a proper sleep can improve one's cognitive processes like memory, focus, and creativity. The benefits of getting enough sleep include improved mood, emotional stability, and stress resistance. On the other hand, sleep deprivation is linked to a higher risk of mood disorders like anxiety and depression. The students who get enough sleep do better in exams, concentrate better in class and have greater problem-solving skills. Moreover, maintaining regular sleep patterns is good for our hearts. A healthy cholesterol level is maintained, inflammation is reduced, and blood pressure can be regulated if anyone experiences a sound sleep. So, we should not ignore it. It is high time we realised the value of sound sleep.
