The Power of Sleep

It's amazing what sleep can do for a body! Sleep is a powerful tool in a healthy  lifestyle. Life seems to be so packed full with events and busyness that sleep often takes a backseat. Perhaps you feel guilty when you start to feel run down and decide to rest because you expect that you should have been able to get by on only a few hours of sleep. Too many of us feel that there are more productive things to do with our time than just sleep.

We have to change our thinking and allow our bodies to sleep. Rest, even a power nap, may help improve your health and quality of life dramatically. Our bodies recalibrate as we sleep. Our whole system are restored. Sleep regulates hormones, as those that regulate appetite. 

When you deprive yourself of sleep, you are only setting yourself up to fail physically and sometimes emotionally. Many people spend their lives serving till they came to the end of themselves. By putting themselves last, many went into burnout and some made bad choices. Sometimes the cause for failure in people's moral lives can be traced back to prolonged sleep deprivation. 

To ensure to help your body get the best rest possible, eat a SMALL portion of protein. This helps aid the body in the process and helps burn fat as you sleep. 
Sleep is the foundation for good health because without it, the body simply cannot reap the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. 

DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ALLOW YOURSELF TO REST AND SLEEP!
