‘Sleep is the best meditation’ – Dalai Lama
Sleep is as necessary for a proper working human being as water is necessary for a growing plant. Slumber at night can prevent us from many threats. Let us see how.
Sometimes lack of sleep shuts our inbox in the brain which may lead to amnesiac, a disease that results in a temporary loss of memory. A toxic protein, beta-amyloid is released into the brain when we do not get enough sleep, at least eight hours, resulting in diseases like dementia and Alzheimer’s. This happens because proteins accumulate in the sewage system of the brain. Sleep restores the easy movement or passage of blood flow.
If I tell you that sleep ages us then would you risk getting older and staying awake? You know males tend to age at least by 10 years if they sleep less thereby affecting their reproduction system and now after knowing this, I am sure they will hit the snooze button more often. It also weakens the immune system which may result in breast cancer, prostate cancer, and bowel cancer. There is a strong link between the lack of sleep and cancer conducted by WHO (world health organization) in a survey, clearly labeling night hours as probably carcinogenic. Another human system that gets under risk of a heart attack is our cardiovascular system. A global experiment, ‘daylight savings time’ performed on 1.6 billion people, confirmed shockingly that heart attack rates increase by 24% when people lack only an hour of sleep.
What is the recycled rate of humans being? For how long can a person actually remain alert? 16 hours! Is all we have to stay focused after which we slouch, slacken and seriously go low on our mental efficiency? So needless to say, we need to befriend our pillows more.
The future is shaped by our dreams - so stop wasting time - and go to sleep
