Curb Your Weight
Sleep is so important when it comes to weight loss for a few reasons. If you’re not sleeping enough, you’re much more likely to binge-eat foods that aren’t good for you to give you a jolt of energy. When you’re constantly running on low energy, you’re going to constantly reach for foods that aren’t good for you, which creates a vicious cycle.

You’ll Be so Much More Useful
When you have a lot to get done, your first instinct is to work through your exhaustion and stay up all night. That couldn’t be worse for you. Instead, go to sleep. Never sacrifice a large amount of your sleep for work. In fact, you’ll be surprised by just how much more efficient you are when you’re getting enough sleep.

You’re Less Likely to Burn out
If you’re especially stressed but can’t pinpoint why, you may just need to get more sleep. The more you sleep, the less likely you are to burn out from stress. You’ll be so much more well-rounded mentally that you’ll stay stronger mentally.

Your Immune System Will Be Stronger
Just like your mental health, your physical health will reap the benefits. Sleep helps keep your immune system strong. If you’ve noticed a problem with your immune system where you keep getting sick, try sleeping more. Who would’ve thought that a problem that seems so huge could be fixed with something as easy as sleeping?

Your Entire Body Will Thank You
When you start sleeping more, you will notice the positive effects it has on your body. For example, your skin will feel so much healthier. When you’re sleeping, your body is repairing itself. The more sleep you get, the more time your body has to fix all of the things that aren’t running properly!

Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration.
It’s a Mood-Enhancer
Don’t you just feel so much better when you’ve gotten a good night’s sleep. I can’t promise that you’ll get a good night’s sleep every night, but if you get enough sleep, you are much more likely to get a good night’s sleep than if you’re only sleeping a few hours.

You Could Even Live Longer
When you think of living as long as possible, sleep is probably not something you contribute to that idea. Things like diet and exercise come into play, but not sleep. Unsurprisingly, people who get nine or more hours of sleep a night are more likely to live longer!
Why do you put such precedence on sleep? Have you been neglecting it lately? How are you going to break that habit? Let me know what you think!
