Hello, people! I hope you are doing well. Today, I am going to remind you of something.
See, your parents always keep an eye on us and advise or shout, “Keep that phone away, Chotu! Sleep on time. Your eyes will get damaged.” Familiar?
I am telling you this because I have observed that we often ignore their words, but it is essential to understand what happens when we take it for granted.
Just like food, sleep is also a necessity. A healthy mind comes from enough sleep. Let’s see what it is.
What is Sleep?
Sleep is an activity and a mental state. Its main function is to help the body get rid of daily physical and mental stress.
Why Do We Need Sleep?
It is a human tendency to overlook the importance of things until we need them. The following points will clarify this.
Healthy Routine
If you get enough sleep, your mornings will be fresh. Fresh air and a clear mind help us with daily chores. It saves time and reduces workload too.
Increases Productivity
Office employees, students, and women all have busy schedules. Office employees have to catch trains, kids attend school and tuition, and women have to manage household tasks. This means your brain works for long periods.
Concentration, productivity, and performance for better results depend on sleep.
Sports Performance
Longer sleep improves sportsmanship, accuracy, speed, focus, and timing.
Immunity Booster
Your body can suffer from several health issues. If you feel a minor cold or sneezing, then 8 hours of sleep can help you recover.
Easy to Remember
Your grasping power can increase with good sleep. You can recharge your memory. A sharp mind comes from better sleep.
What Happens Without Sleep?
Weight Gain
Lack of sleep can cause weight gain or obesity. It disrupts your health. Less than 6 hours of sleep each night can lead to weight gain.
Accident Risk
You are at a higher risk of accidents if you get less than 6 hours of sleep. Shift workers and truck drivers must be particularly careful due to tired eyes and bodies.
Skin Issues
How does lack of sleep affect the skin? It can lead to problems such as pimples, wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin color. Your skin can become dull, making you look older.
Memory
If the brain does not get enough sleep, how can it function properly? Just as food calms hunger, sleep is required for retaining information. Otherwise, it creates confusion and slows down your learning ability.
Conclusion
Whether kids or adults, we all need to understand the importance of sleep. It is each individual’s responsibility to recognize this and take action.
“Don’t skip your sleep!”
