Purpose Of Sleep
The first purpose of sleep is restoration. Every day, your brain accumulates metabolic waste during normal neural activities.
Recent research suggests sleep plays crucial role in cleaning out the brain each night. While these toxins can be flushed out during waking hours, sleep flushes these toxins out twice as fast.

More Purposes Of Sleep
The second purpose of sleep is memory consolidation, the process that maintains and strengthens long term memory. Insufficient or fragmented sleep can hamper your ability to form both concrete memories (facts and figures) and emotional memories.
Finally, sleep is paramount for metabolic health. Studies have shown that when you sleep 5.5 hours per night instead of 8.5 hours per night, a lower proportion of the energy you burn comes from fat, while more comes from carbohydrate and protein. Insufficient sleep can lead to heart disease and diabetes.

Improve Sleep Quality
Intensity refers to how well you sleep. The percentage of sleeping time you spend in slow wave sleep and REM sleep largely determine the quality of your sleep each night.
Timing refers to when you go to sleep.
Duration is how long you sleep.
Intensity of your sleep is managed automatically by your body. The duration of your sleep is largely dependent on when you get into bed (. And that means getting to bed at an earlier, more consistent time is critical for improving the quality and duration of your sleep.

CURATED BY
Intelligent and inquisitive mother of one son and two dogs. Not afraid to admit I'm a little crazy and weird. I love learning about social sciences, new information on mental health, meditation, yoga, dance, music, and all animals.
As a person suffering from severe insomnia, sleep hygiene and importance of proper sleep are important to me. Understanding the negative consequences of lack of sleep are also imperative.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
