Why does good sleep matter? If your sleep is suffering, then the remainder of your day will be built on top of that. Your mind won’t be clear, and you are likely to make poor food choices that will affect your diet. You might skip your workout because you’re too tired. And your work will also likely suffer. In the grand scheme of things, if the sleep issue gets out of control, it could have a huge effect on your overall health, both mentally and physically. Good sleep is just as important as a healthy diet and regular exercise.

According to a study by the brand Forza Supplements, the perfect time to go to bed is at 10:10 p.m. They surveyed 1,000 people and “found that those with the best sleep patterns” go to bed at around 10:10pm. It takes an average of 15 to 20 minutes to fall into a deep sleep, and going to bed by 10:10 p.m. will guarantee that you get a full 90 minutes of REM sleep before midnight. Besides, depending on what time you need to wake up in the morning, this will provide enough time for you to get the recommended 7–8 hours of sleep per night.

SUMMARY:
- According to a sleep study carried out by the Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School, being awake for 24 hours is equal to a blood alcohol level of .10, and the legal limit for alcohol in the United States is .08.
- Getting at least 8 hours of sleep, especially when you are under the weather, can improve the function of your immune system and even help a healthy person fight off common colds and viruses.
- There is a hormone called ghrelin that’s released during periods of sleep deficiency, and it’s responsible for stimulating our appetite. At the same time, the release of leptin, the hormone responsible for suppressing our appetite, is cut off.
- According to an article in the European Heart Journal, coauthored by Dr. Michelle Miller and Professor Francesco Cappuccio from the University of Warwick, consistent loss of sleep over a long period of time can cause the body to produce chemicals that contribute and up the risk for serious diseases.
- Professor Cappuccio notes that sleeping less than 6 hours a night and having consistent sleep disruptions gives you a “48% greater chance of developing or dying from heart disease and a 15% greater chance of developing or dying from a stroke.”
- While being sad every once in a while is part of the “human” experience, some of the major mental health issues like depression and anxiety have been very strongly tied to chronic poor sleep quality.
- Not only can poor sleep increase inflammation in the body, but in instances where there is already an inflammatory disease in the body, there is a tendency toward sleep disturbance.
- We essentially lose our ability to interact on a social level and process our emotions if we don’t get enough sleep.
- If you are trying to lose weight, a healthy sleep pattern is just as crucial to this goal as diet and exercise.
