Sleep is essential to a healthy lifestyle and a lack of it isn’t good for you. This week, I will be talking about the benefits of sleeping early. There are many benefits but I wanted to point out 2 of them. I will also talk about my personal experience with sleep deprivation.
One benefit is the ability to be attentive. This benefit can literally save your life. Many studies say sleep deprivation can lead to car accidents and many other disasters. Being attentive means you will also do better in school. You can listen to the teacher and know what to do. You will also be able to think clearly. This is crucial if you have a pop quiz. Overall, being attentive is very important.
Another benefit, being healthy. For example, sleeping can help with digestive problems. Or if you don’t sleep you could lower your lifespan. However, the most surprising thing was weight gain. Apparently, sleep deprivation will make lazy on top of being unattentive. So when you wake up, you become less willing to make a healthy meal. I have experienced this many time because of my laziness. On most days I would just eat bread, yogurt, and a cookie (if there is any). This can lead to an unhealthy diet. On top of that, you do some digesting during your sleep.
In the end, sleep is a thing everyone needs. You can’t live without it. Even so, I believe you need a balance of sleep. I find that I get slight headaches. In the end, I learned I should sleep more (8-9 hours of sleep).
