Why Is Sleep Important?

Many health professionals claim sleep to be as important as exercise and diet in anti-aging, training, and weight-loss regimens. However, there are at least 40 million Americans who report sleep problems. [1] Although we tend to think of sleep as a period of complete rest, it is crucial to promoting health and optimal functioning. During sleep, the body is hard at work, performing a variety of biological processes to help regenerate and repair muscles and body tissues. Adequate sleep is also essential for maintaining mood, memory, and cognitive performance. [2,3] It is vital for the proper functioning of both the immune and endocrine systems, and many studies have demonstrated the relationship between sleep duration and several serious health issues like obesity, hypertension, and depression. [4,5,6]

Sleep directly impacts our hormone levels, and hormone levels play a very important role in hunger and satiety. Sleep is just as important as exercise and diet in training programs and weight-management regimens. During sleep, the body is hard at work, releasing anabolic hormones to regenerate and repair muscle tissue. Quality sleep also aids in keeping levels of fat-promoting hormones low. Lack of adequate sleep can lead to fat gain, increased hunger and sugar cravings, decreased muscle mass, decreased strength, and a weakened immune system. [5,6,7,8]
