Getting a good night’s sleep is so important to your health. Sleep, in fact, is essential to every process in the body and touches every aspect of your wellbeing. Sleep affects your physical and mental functions, influences your ability to fight disease and develop immunity, promotes a healthy metabolism, and lowers the risk of chronic disease. The number of hours we need to sleep each night varies from person to person and also depends on your age and fitness. But in general adults need at least 7 hours of sleep a night to function at an optimal level the next day. As you age, the amount of sleep you need will change but it’s not just the quantity of sleep that’s important, it’s the quality.

Without enough quality sleep, people can overeat and eat unhealthy foods. A lack of sleep can lead to you being less physically active during the day and reduce your muscle strength during exercise. Poor sleep quality is also linked to depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. The better you sleep, the healthier you’re going to be. And that’s where Feel Electric come in!
