Sleep boosts the immune system thus strengthening our ability to fight infections.

Sleep strengthens our body's immune response by enhancing the ability of T cells to adhere to and destroy cells infected by viruses and other pathogens.

Sleep plays an important role in our brain function like learning, memory, creativity, critical thinking and decision making.

Sleep deprivation disrupts levels of hormones like serotonin, dopamine, and cortisol that can affect our thought, mood and energy.

Not only does sleep affect our physical health to recover but also our emotional and mental health.

It is important for us to have at least 7-9 hours of restorative sleep per night to gain the benefits of sleep for our physical, emotional and mental health.
