Sleep The Fountain Of Youth

How much sleep do we really need?

This a really cool video to watch.  It has some great video transitions.

Researchers have yet to catalog all of the benefits of sleep, but one thing is for certain the body functions much better when it is allowed a hibernation period.  The question is how much sleep is enough to cause health benefits.

Of course, the number varies by individual.  I don’t think that we can mandate a number for everyone.  However, because of statistics we can quote an average amount (8 hours) should do the trick.

Benefits of sleeping

• Weight loss
• Sharper Memory and Concentration
• Super Immune System
• Beauty, Radiant Glow
• Longevity
• Body Maintenance and Repair

This list has inspired me to get more rest.  I am self induced insomniac, I work late into the night and get up to meet the world in less than 8 hours.  I usually feel fine and function well.  However, maybe I am cutting my self short on benefits that I can’t see on a daily basis.  So, better safe than sorry.  Beside maybe I can catch up on some REM sleep.  Dreams are like free movies.  In this economy,  free is  good price and my mind can make up some interesting plots and characters.

• One ticket please to dreamland with a side order of  longevity,  super memory, slimmer attributes.  Starring the man of my dreams….. You know who you are.
