Good Sleep for Good Health

The fastpaced nature of contemporary living might make it difficult to take breaks and relax. It may make consistently getting a restful night's sleep seem like a fantasy.
But just as vital to overall health as nutrition and exercise is sleep. Your emotions, health, and cognitive function all improve with adequate sleep. 
Frequent sleep deprivation increases the risk of numerous illnesses and disorders. These include dementia, obesity, and heart disease as well as stroke. 
According to Dr. Marishka Brown, an NIH sleep specialist, getting enough sleep involves more than just spending a lot of time in bed. "Three main components make up healthy sleep," she says. The first is your amount of sleep. Another is the quality of your sleep, or whether you obtain restful, unbroken slumber.
