All You Need To Know About Sleeping by Scamfender: 12:12am On Nov 04, 2014
Sleep is a naturally re-occurring state characterized by
reduced or absent consciousness, and inactivity of
nearly all voluntary muscles. I wouldn’t want to over
bore us with the types of sleep and its various actions,
after all we are not writing an exam on this and this
article is for the general public. So here we will be
focusing on the beautiful facts about sleep, analyzing
the importance and benefits of sleeping, and the effects
of sleep deprivation.
Here is a list of the facts;
FACTS
1 all animals sleep
2 even blind animal and blind people sleep, so is not
that dependent on the eye,
3 the more an animal sleeps the lesser its body mass
and consequently weight,
4 aquatic animals like fishes sleep while moving,
5 your brain is continuously working while sleeping and
it also processes our dreams,
6 do you know it can even help you make decisions in
serious matters. When you sleep about something
bothering you, you wake up and feel somehow light
burden because the brain has enough and undisturbed
time to process and work on the matter,
7 getting enough sleep aids brain development,
8 you can never cheat or deprive yourself of sleeping;
this only leads to sleep debt which you will have to pay
at a later date,
9 do you know that the most successful people in the
world have a good record of sleeping before becoming
successful,
10 you grow taller anytime you wake up from bed. This
is because the discs in your body are more spaced but
when you wake they get compressed back by the force
of gravity,
11 if you want to wake up in the midnight, do sleep in
an uncomfortable manner or by putting one of your leg
on the wall,
12 we spend one third of our lives doing it.
Despite the importance and emphasis that as always
been laid on exercise and other body activities, sleeping
still remains one of the most vital and indispensable
features and I call it the “miraculous exercise”. Apart
from the obligatory condition that man must do it, it
also plays a great beneficial role which I summarize
below -
BENEFITS
1 it conserves our energy and aids your body relaxation,
2 it helps restore our body and aids rapid healing, repair
tissues and cells formation,
3 it increases white blood cell formation which aids our
immune system,
4 it restores and refreshes the brain by combating the
accumulation of free radicals,
5 it helps growth hormone formation. You need to sleep
well if you want to grow well,
6 it boosts your mood and banishes under eye circle
and pimples which often result due to lack of sleep,
7 it helps to keep our heart healthy by stabilizing blood
pressure and cholesterol {check your dico.},
8 it reduces stress; am sure we all know this,
9 it controls your body weight and reduces the risk of
diabetes because the more you sleep the more glucose
are broken down in your system,
Note: make sure you stretch your body each time you
wakeup to restore disc, body shape and fixing of the
bones back to normal especially when you sleep in a
bad condition so as to prevent carrying a wrong shape.
EFFECTS OF NOT GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP
Decreased alertness, tiredness, moodiness, headache,
loss of balance and coordination, memory lapses,
difficulty concentrating, blurred vision, hallucination,
paranoia, and heart failure.
So in conclusion, do sleep for at least 8 hours daily
(quick nap included). If you know that you will be
having a till dawn party or “Till Day Break Reading”, get
enough sleep from morning through afternoon of that
same day so as to prevent sleep debt and other sleep
related issues. You also need to sleep in other to think
and study well when you wake up. And also if you are
confronted with a difficult problem, just go and sleep am
sure when you wake up you would have gotten the right
solution.

taking drugs to reduce sleep is dangerous your body has a particular rhythm of sleeping so your body is programmed to wake up at a particular time you could try staying up a little longer
