Why Sleep Is Important

Sleep allows your body and brain to function properly and not getting enough hours can seriously affect your health. This is why sleep is so important.  

What are the benefits of a good night's sleep?  

A good nights' sleep really can make or break your day. Whatever you have planned, getting the hours in the night before will really make a difference.  

Improved brain function: 

  • Improves attention & concentration - getting enough sleep can stop your mind from wandering throughout the day and help you stay focused. Being unable to focus due to lack of sleep makes you more likely to make mistakes or have an accident 
  • Memory - while you sleep your brain processes information you’ve taken in throughout the day and turns short-term memories into long-term memories. 

Strong Immune System: 

  • Sleep allows your body time to rest and repair itself. 
  • During sleep the body releases proteins that detect and destroy germs that enter the body, this is why it’s important to get plenty of sleep when you’re unwell. 

Healthy Heart:

  • Lack of sleep can be linked to an increased risk of having high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and strokes.  
  • While you’re asleep your heart rate and blood pressure are naturally lower which gives your heart time to rest. 
  • Not getting enough sleep can lead to inflammation increasing the build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries. 

Maintaining a Healthy Weight:

  • As well as balanced diet and exercise, sleep can also help you maintain a healthy weight.  
  • Sleep deprivation can increase your appetite and mean that you’re likely to overeat foods that are higher in calories. 
  • If you’re tired it’s likely that you won't have the motivation or energy to exercise. 

Why is sleep important when exercising?

If you exercise regularly, you will know that it’s important to consider what you put in your body in terms of nutrition to keep you fuelled and help aid your recovery afterwards. Well it’s important not to forget that sleep is just as important.  

Without sleep, exercise is unable to deliver the benefits we expect from working out.  

When you sleep your body has time to recover, repair and build up muscles and conserve energy. When you don’t get enough sleep then your body can’t produce essential growth hormones that help to repair muscle damage caused during exercise. 

Struggling with sleep?  

Supplements can be helpful for people who struggle with their sleep. There are a number of natural ingredients that can help promote a good night's sleep such as: 

  • Melatonin
  • Valerian Root 
  • Magnesium 
  • Lavender 
  • Passionflower
