Sleep


If you think sleep is just resting your body, you’re definitely wrong. There are a few numbers of the function of sleep. Researchers have shown that sleep is really affect your health. I will explain two kind of things how sleep affects our health. First of all, sleep affect our body ability to heal wounds. A study conducted by Gumustekin et al shows that sleep deprivation hindering the healing of burns on rats.

Sleep deprivation also affects immune system. If you have enough sleep everyday, which means around 7-8 hours a day for adult, you will be less risky to get sick. The next one is hairloss. Even a lot of study shows that hairloss is happened because of genetics and smoking habit, there is evidence shows that lack of sleep cause hairloss. When you sleep, the oxygen that run in your blood is stable. But as we stay awake too long, then it will suck more air for us to breath. When it happen, then the blood circulation is not running well, especially the head’s blood circulation. Then it will affect the growth of the hair.

In brief, sleep is not just resting your body but it is an important phase for your health.
