The Bottom Line
Sleep is not a luxury; it is an essential nutrient--make it a priority in your life.
Sleep is an essential part of life, but one that is often pushed aside by the consuming tasks of daily life. If you feel that you are too busy to get a full night’s sleep, consider that sleep-deprivation, both in the short- and long-term, causes serious adverse health effects. For instance, too little sleep has been linked to accelerated aging and an increased risk of diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure.
Sleep should be a priority in your life as it plays a dramatic role in your overall health--much like proper nutrition and regular exercise. Without enough sleep, your body will be challenged to reach its optimal state of health.
Please bear in mind also that the timing of your sleep--for example from 1 a.m. to 7 a.m. versus 9 p.m. to 3 a.m.--will affect its quality. The more hours that you can sleep before midnight and in synch with the sun, the better off you will be.
If you find yourself lying awake at night, unable to sleep, you may be one of the many people who have problems sleeping due to anxiety, stress or other emotional challenges. For these types of concerns, EFT works remarkably well and can help to induce peaceful slumber. Exercise is another way to fight insomnia.
