Why is sleep so important?

Well, sleep is the natural condition of rest in which your body is at ease, your eyes are sealed, and your mind is not in an active state. To be assured you've had a good sleep when you wake up you should feel at ease and refreshed. How much sleep should I have? The typical adult should be having around seven to eight hours of sleep per night. Throughout the day you will naturally build up the pressure that is encouraging you to want to sleep, and that is completely normal, that is just your body letting you know it is ready to be restored.

Guys. Sleep is amazing! It allows your body to rest and perform the beneficial, natural maintenance for the body itself. It can also improve the brain's ability... how cool?

so... buenas noches! AAJ Xx
