Getting enough quality rest is very important, perhaps the key to success with all of the other pillars of health. Everyone must aim for a regular and relaxing routine before bedtime. It is highly recommended to get a good sleep of 7 to 8 hours a day. Do you want to know why?
1. It increases brain function
Sleep helps recharge not only our energy but also creates new pathways of thinking and helps us get ready for the next day. A good night’s sleep can lead to better learning and performance at work or school, improving attention, judgment, and creativity.
2. It prevents the development of disease
Sleep is great for the immune system and it plays a role in healing the heart and blood vessels. Ongoing sleep deprivation can impair the immune system which makes it harder for your body to fight off common infections and viruses.
3. It balances hormones and lowers the risk of obesity
Sleep plays a large role in the production of hunger and satiety hormones. When sleep is deprived, the body produces more ghrelin (the hormone that makes you feel hungry) and less leptin (the hormone that makes you feel full) Research has shown that individuals who get less sleep, tend to have higher body weight.
Hopefully, these top 3 reasons are enough to convince you to start making sleep an important part of your schedule. Begin tonight by getting at least seven hours.

• Turn off the room lights
