Sleep
Sleep consists of a series of distinct cycles and stages that
restore, refresh and repair your body and mind. Many of the major restorative
functions in the body like muscle growth, tissue repair, protein synthesis, and
growth hormone release occur mostly, or in some cases exclusively, during
sleep. It is not surprising that even minimal sleep loss takes a toll on your
mood, energy, efficiency, and ability to handle stress. If you want to perform
at your highest level, stay healthy,
and feel your best, sleep is a basic
need,
not a luxury.
