Sleep- plays a large role in your health and longevity!
Our bodies repair and rejuvenate both physically and psychologically when we are sleeping; 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. your're repairing physically and from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. repairing psychologically.
If possible, you should get to sleep by 10 p.m. and stay in bed until 6 a.m.
Hormones are made during our sleep, such as human growth hormone; responsible for vitality, energy and all of the health benefits we associate with youth.
Lack of sleep can cause weight gain and insulin resistance.
Our hormones decline as we age. We need to get enough sleep so we keep the production moving along smoothly for our longevity. I cannot stress how important it is to get enough hours sleep each night.
