A Good Night's Sleep: Here's Why You Need It

By Virginia Laird

While there are many who believe that sleep is extremely overrated, it is indeed essential when it comes to your health. Those who lack in sleep can have serious health complications, including high amounts of stress, extreme headaches, and much more. It is suggested that the average adult should get at least six hours of sleep each night. However, there are many who require much more than this. Knowing how many hours of sleep you need, and going to bed early enough to ensure you get what you need, is best. A few reasons you need to get plenty of sleep include:

  • Sleep is linked to mental health
  • Getting plenty of sleep can affect your blood pressure
  • Making sleep a priority can promote weight loss

Sleep is Linked to Mental Health

Increasingly, there are many who struggle with mental health. With a variety of things that can impact your mental health, it is imperative that you control the things you can, among them is sleep. Making sure you get enough sleep can help promote good mental health. There is research to suggest that a lack of sleep can increase confusion, brain fog, and increase feelings of depression. To help prevent (or reduce) these issues, start getting the sleep you need right away.

Getting Plenty of Sleep Can Affect Your Blood Pressure

According to research, many of those who short their time on the pillow also struggle with maintaining a healthy blood pressure. Although there are many ways to make a difference with your blood pressure numbers, sleep is high on the list. Those who forego sleep are likely to struggle to maintain healthy numbers.   

Making Sleep a Priority Can Promote Weight Loss

Each day, millions commit to a plan to lose weight. While many try a variety of diets and hours at the gym, health and wellness experts say that getting the sleep you need is also very helpful in maintaining a healthy metabolism, which is essential in weight loss. Experts say that those who skip out on sleep tend to struggle with weight loss, as a lack of sleep can hamper the function of the metabolism. Instead, it is best that you make sure to start getting plenty of sleep right away. 

For many, getting enough sleep may require setting a bedtime and stick to it. Knowing how many hours of sleep you need can help you determine what time you need to go to bed. Start right away going to bed early enough to get the sleep you need.
