The health dangers of insomnia

The human body is comparable to a machine that is required to work 24 hours a day. Just as a machine requires maintenance and breaks, your body requires sleep. During sleep the body repairs itself and recuperates.
Sleep boosts memory and cognitive function, is a key factor in the body’s waste disposal, and provides you with the energy to be fresh and active the following day. Getting enough sleep in terms of hours and quality are important factors in maintaining a healthy mind and body. Sleep can also be a major contributor to disease prevention, and can even be a part of some

health conditions. For example:

• Quality sleep from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. – This will help the lymphatic system get rid of waste more efficiently as well as strengthen your immune system
• Quality sleep from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. – Sleep during this period will help the liver clean itself more effectively. It will also encourage your skins cells to engage in self-repair and cause new cells to grow 8 times faster
• Quality Sleep from midnight to 4 a.m. –Will boost the bone marrow’s ability to create red blood cells more efficiently
