*Adequate sleep is very important.*

Let’s see why sleep is important for good health. For this, let’s know what functions are performed in the body during sleep.

1. Energy in the body is conserved during sleep. In this state, energy is saved as body movements are minimal. Researchers say 8 hours of sleep saves 35% of energy. This is why we feel refreshed when we wake up peacefully.

2. From the information received during the day, the useful information is stored in the right place for long-term memory and the garbage of unnecessary information is removed from the brain. So the brain becomes alert and receptive after waking up.

3. Cells break down or wear out during the day. Cell repair and regeneration takes place during sleep. That is why if the sleep is complete, the body is able for the next day.

4. Strengthening the immune system, proper use of insulin and reducing the burden on the heart also happens in sleep.

5. Since we do not eat anything while sleeping, the two hormones of hunger, ghrelin and leptin, are properly controlled. It helps in maintaining weight balance.

So friends, try to get at least six to eight hours of sound sleep.
