Importance of Sleep

Good Morning Everyone,

Today we would like to talk about the importance of a good nights sleep!
 

Not getting a good nights sleep (8 hours) can affect you in many ways. Lack of sleep can cause:
  • Lowered concentration
  • Depression
  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Poor memory
  • Can reduce the extent of growth
  • Can affect your weight
A recent study was done on how sleeping can effect weight gain by Sleep researchers from the University of Colorado.
Please see below link to the article about this research published by the NY Times:
