10.01.2022 Did you know its Sleep Awareness Week? Over the next week we will be sharing some helpful hints about how to get a good nights sleep including how we can help at the pharmacy So, first up, understanding why sleep is SO important. While youre sleeping, your body does a lot of important work including: - Your brain sorts and processes the days information creating long term memories as your brain consolidates all the information its picked up during the day and files it... away for later use. Poor sleep leads to decreased decision-making ability, poorer reaction times and greater irritability. Hormones flood your body during sleep which helps your body to grow and repair itself. Without enough sleep, your hormones are out of whack and your body craves sugar, fat and high-GI foods leading to weight. Consistent good sleep may be a protective factor against heart disease, diabetes, stroke as our sympathetic nervous system which controls your fight or flight response gets a chance to relax. Our cortisol levels (stress hormone) decreases during the first few hours of sleep before rising to peak soon after you wake up. This helps makes you feel perky when you wake up and switches on your appetite. Your immune system releases a type of small proteins called cytokines. If youre sick or injured, these cytokines help your body fight inflammation, infection and trauma. Without enough sleep, your immune system might not be able to function at its best. Stay tuned for more! Source: Sleep Health Foundation.
