Sleep

Hello internet!

 Today we are going to talk about proper sleep, and what happens to the body when we sleep. Sleep affects how we look and feel on a daily basis, and can have a major impact on our overall health. To get the most out of our sleep, both quantity, and quality play a role. It varies on each individual, but most need around 8 hours of  uninterrupted sleep per night. We go through 4 stages of sleep several times throughout the night. We spend a different amount of time in each stage before moving onto the next. Each stage has a different affect on our body. During these different stages of sleep there are an incredible amount of hormones synthesized, and released into the blood stream. These hormones control, and balance our entire body. Without proper sleep our bodies become unbalanced, unregulated, and sick. 

It is extremely important to put yourself on a sleep wake/schedule, so your body stays healthy, and balanced. So we wake up repaired, and refreshed! 

 HAPPY SLEEPING EVERYONE!
