i realise tt is time to change my weird sleeping habits after readin this particular article in Reader Digest.(i'm so a book-person these days.*winks) tot of sharing this artcle, so have a peek!!hees.you will realise tt u actually need to get more sleep.
:.. 5 surprising reasons to get more sleep..:
1. It could make you thinner
Research in Virgina has found that the less sleep u get,the higher your body mass index tends to be. A Bristol study may have the explanation: people who sleep 5 hrs a night were found to have 15% more ghrelin(a hormone tt boosts hunger) in their bodies and 15% less leptin(which suppresses it) than those sleepin eight hrs.
2.It could boost ur memory
Sleep plays a key role in making new memories stick in the brain.A Harvard experiment showed that subjects taught complex finger movement like a piano scale recalled them much better after 12 hours' sleep than 12 hours' wakefulness.Another study showed that working into the night slowed their thinking skills, both at the time and during the next day.
3.It boost the immune system
A study of elderly people suffering depression found that those with disturbed sleep had fewer diseases-fighting cells in their blood.Moreover,melatonin, produced when you sleep, is a cancer-fighting antioxidant.Night-shift workers,whose wake/sleep rhythms are disrupted, may have up to 70 times greater risk of breast cancer.
4.It can slow down ageing
Persistent sleep debt has been shown to affect carbohydrate metabolism and hormone function in a way that may increase the severity of age-related chronic disorders.In fact, a large-scale study concluded that people who sleep 6-7 hours a night lived longer than those sleeping less than 4.5 hrs.
5.It could keep you on the straight and narrow
If u're a child, that is.The depression and low-self esteem often associated with just being a teenager actually correlate with a sleep shortage.and young kids who sleep poorly are more than twice as lkely to take to drink and drugs in adolescence.
