Recharge & rejuvenate your body! Sleep plays an important role in our physical health and mood. It provides the body with the opportunity to recover from the wear and tear of daily life.

Many restorative functions of the body occur almost exclusively when we are asleep. These include tissue repair, muscle growth, and protein synthesis.

Sleep not only boosts immunity, it can help slim you! Studies have also shown that sleep-deprived people have reduced levels of leptin, the chemical that makes you feel full, and increased levels of ghrelin, the hunger-hormone that stimulates appetite, leading them to eat more.

Most of us need around 8 hours of good-quality sleep at night to function properly – but some need more and some less. Try to determine how much sleep you need at night to feel rested.
