Importance of Sleep for Overall Health

Getting sufficient sleep (7 or more hours) is crucial for overall health. Lack of sleep is associated with a 20% higher risk of heart attack, 30% greater risk of obesity, and cognitive decline. Sleep plays a vital role in memory consolidation by transferring new memories from the hippocampus to the cortex. Additionally, quality sleep helps remove brain byproducts, promoting mental clarity and function.
