02.01.2022 Sleep is the critical third pillar in achieving maximum mental health and overall wellness. While you are sleeping your body does a lot of important work. 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. If you suspect you have a sleep disorder see your GP. #SAW2020 #SleepAwarenessWeek #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression
