Are YOU getting enough sleep?



       BAD Sleep Might be DAMAGING your BRAIN!....


Hi guys! Hope that you are all fine! I have a little question:

ARE you Sleeping enough?

Apparently, lack of sleep has been found to have damaging effects to our brains, so it is important to find ample time to sleep more!

Unfortunately, in today's life, its not time running after us but its us rushing against time! I am quite a busy person myself and life has become hectic in its own way and nothing can slow it down. YES, it is the sad reality of today.

Bad sleep has many diverse negative effects on your health. Some of these include:
Deposits of toxin protein beta-amyloid shown in red in
the brain of the right side is the result of poor sleep.
On the left hand side are healthy well rested brainwaves
and an absence of beta-amyloid. 

  • insomnia
  • depression
  • inability to perform well
  • memory loss
  • increase in cancer risk

It has also been found that lack of sleep results in neurotoxins being built up in your brain, which can be linked to Alzheimer's disease.

Sleep provides a power cleanse to your brain as it helps to wash away toxins during the night and prevent them from potentially destroying your brain cells and from building up.

When memory tests were performed on healthy adults when they were in an alert state and had these tests done again after a night's sleep, it was found that those who slept poorly had a poor performance in these tests.



Starting from today, if you want to start making a small positive impact in your life, just make it a point to sleep earlier, switch off your wifi and your electrical devices and let sleep cleanse your brain, freeing it from the toxins built during the day. Even though these effects resulting from not getting enough sleep are scary enough to leave you thinking at night, the positive thing about it is that it can be changed.

Increasing your sleep hours will definitely make a huge impact on your health in general. Today, one can battle insomnia in more than one way and it can be done through behavioral therapy, exercise and even electrical stimulation to increase deep sleep!
