What are some benefits to getting an adequate amount of sleep?


1.Your whole body and mind get rejuvenated.
2.Your energy level gets a boost. This comes from your diurnal hormone rhythm. If we go to sleep between 10 PM and 11 PM and sleep for 7 to 8 hours, then our diurnal hormone system is in sync with our lifestyle.
3.Between midnight and 3 AM we get a burst of human growth hormone (HGH). If we celebrate through the night and go to bed at 3AM, we are asking for trouble: we miss the HGH hormone peak and we are having a hangover the following day. But if you get an adequate amount of sleep as described, you get the HGH peak and you enjoy extra energy the following day.
4.Our sex hormones get produced early in the morning before we wake up; courtesy of the diurnal hormone rhythm. This translates into a regular sex life, because these hormones work from within and facilitate that sex is happening.
5.You get a clear head from sleeping enough hours and at the right time. You need a clear head to listen to your partner, to maintain good relationships and form new ones. It seems that with a clear head everything falls into place; with a hangover, everything is a chore and you don’t want to socialize.
