In view of COVID-19 and beyond, we need to watch our SLEEP (in addition to EXERCISE, NUTRITION, WATER, SUPPLEMENTS, SUNSHINE, OUTDOORS, FRESH AIR, DISTANCING, MASKING, and SANITIZING)
1. SLEEP CAN BOOST OUR IMMUNITY AND MAKE VACCINES MORE EFFECTIVE – Increases ability to fight Infections
2. SLEEP CAN PREVENT WEIGHT GAIN – When we lack sleep, there is an increase of Ghrelin from the gut, which increases appetite and reduces Leptin from the brain, which tells us we are satisfied
3. SLEEP STRENGTHENS HEART – lack causes racing heart, increase of blood pressure and increase risk of heart attack
4. BETTER MOOD. When we are well rested, we feel energetic, and can laugh and the world laughs with us.
5. IMPROVES CONCENTRATION and PRODUCTIVITY
6. PROTECTS AGAINST ACCIDENTS – increase of car crashes x 4 times when getting 5 hrs. sleep
7. INCREASES EXERCISE PERFORMANCE
8. IMPROVES MEMORY – with good sleep, there is increased insulin sensitivity, removal of amyloid and Tao plaques – by improving GLYMPHATIC SYSTEM, CIRCADIAN RHYTHM, REDUCED CORTISOL, and STRESS HORMONES. Thus we can reduce Dementia and Alzheimer’s, by applying all of the above
9. LOWERS THE INFLAMMATION, THUS HELPING TO LOWER CHOLESTEROL NATURALLY.
10. WHEN WELL RESTED, BODY, MIND and SPIRIT ARE COORDINATED: We can LET GO and LET GOD direct our lives
