Why is Sleep so Important ?
Description
We all know how torturous it can be to be deprived of sleep and it has been used throughout history for just such a purpose. Anne takes a close look at our need for sleep for our health, safety, mental health, and lifestyles.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The body has a remarkable capacity for healing during sleep.
Concentration, mood, memory and coordination are all affected by lack of sleep.
Experts recommend that we have 7.5 hours of sleep regularly.
Stimulants such as caffeine exacerbate the problem.
Short afternoon naps can help top up sleep.
**BEST MOMENTS
**_‘When we are ill, sleep is very often the best remedy.’
__‘Long-term tiredness will weaken your immune system because antibodies and cytokines are produced during sleep.’
__‘Strangely, we feel we need to apologise for needing our full quota of sleep!’
__‘Margaret Thatcher famously required only 4 hours sleep and it became part of her ‘iron lady’ famous reputation. However, long after she had passed on, details were published by the national archives which suggest that she would have made up for it as she was able to nap in her chauffeur driven car.’
_‘We look after our body in terms of what food we take and we take care to hydrate, but don’t forget to sleep. Sleep is really critical.’

ABOUT THE HOST
Anne originally trained as a maths and science teacher but then chose to qualify as an accountant and worked in business for 12 years.

Fascinated by psychology, philosophy and theology, she is now a successful trainer, speaker and author, who enjoys sharing her passion, purpose and knowledge with a growing audience.
