sleep

For some, it is a nightly ritual, a welcoming respite, embraced at the end of each day. For others, it is a rally against the dark and an obstacle to work and play. While sleeping is essential, it is a largely overlooked aspect in the picture of general health.

sleep-wake cycles are determined by circadian rhythms. These are physical, mental and behavioral changes that follow a 24-hour cycle, responding to light and darkness in our environment. Just as a lack of sleep can impair health, deep sleep can work to repair health and promote healthy immune function, a full night's sleep gives the brain a recharge and a glow of youth. The term "beauty sleep" exists for a reason.
