People wake up feeling fresh after a few hours of sleep, so they think that 4-6 hours of sleep is more than enough. But studies say that if we don't get 7-9 hours of sleep a night, the body doesn't effective clean all the toxins. To top that, it affects our efficacy of the following day. Sleep deprivation impairs memory and problem-solving skills and decreases attention span.
Alarmingly, insulin levels go for a toss which then slow metabolism. Decrease in insulin levels stimulate appetite and cause you to eat more thus leading to weight gain. "As if that weren't enough," said Dr. Siegel, "it's actually toxic to the connections in your cells."
Keep away from your smartphones and laptops for atleast an hour before you sleep. It allows your body enough time to secrete the naturally produced melatonin to prepare your boy for a fruitful night's sleep.
