Sleep should also be prioritized for its physical benefits and in terms of prevention of chronic diseases. It forms part of healthy living alongside diet and exercise.

Your brain is hard at work while you sleep, consolidating memories, practicing skills learned during the day, regulating immune systems and even helping your body fight viruses and bacteria. Sleep can be an extremely productive time.

Sleep also plays an essential part in helping regulate our emotions so we aren’t easily annoyed or upset.
