Sleep & Recovery
Why it Matters: Deep, consistent sleep is when the body and brain perform critical repairs, consolidating memory, regulating hormones, and clearing toxins. Chronic sleep deprivation accelerates biological aging, increases disease risk, and impairs cognitive performance. Good sleep is not a luxury; it’s a biological necessity.
- Sleep strengthens immune defenses, lowering susceptibility to illness.
- Poor sleep increases insulin resistance and weight gain risk.
- Deep sleep phases are essential for clearing amyloid plaques linked to Alzheimer’s.
