Deep dives

The Importance of Sleep Quality

Quality sleep is crucial for overall health, with 10 hours of consistent sleep deemed healthy as long as it's not fragmented. Fragmented sleep may lead a person to spend 10 hours in bed without gaining the benefits of good quality sleep, resulting in only receiving about 6.5 hours of actual sleep. It's essential for individuals to embrace their natural sleep needs without feeling sheepish, as societal pressures often diminish the value of adequate sleep. By prioritizing sleep and understanding its benefits, one can significantly enhance their health and performance.
