Why Sleep Matters
Sleep is more than just rest; it actively restores the body and recharges the mind. Quality sleep serves as a fundamental pillar of Physical Wellness in the nine Dimensions of Wellness model and directly affects our capacity to thrive in other areas of life. Getting good sleep helps our bodies repair tissues, balance hormones, and boost the immune system. It also helps our brains store memories, manage emotions, and get us ready to focus, learn and solve problems. Without enough sleep, we are more likely to feel stressed, get sick and have trouble with mood, focus and energy. In the long run, poor sleep raises the risk of chronic illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and depression. Sleep isn’t a luxury; it’s the foundation for long-term health and well-being.
