Our City Club Fitness Centre Dietician discusses the importance of sleep and why you should make it a priority in your life.
Getting adequate sleep is as important as healthy eating and regular exercise. Australia’s leading sleep advocate Sleep Health Foundation says sleep not only boosts your mental and physical wellbeing, but also your immunity. A Deloitte Access Economics report in 2017 found 39.8% of Australians suffered from insufficient sleep. Our busy, tech-driven lifestyles are often to blame, along with too much caffeine and lack of exercise.
Why should you make sleep a priority?
Sleep helps you recharge - both physically and mentally. As you sleep, your blood sugar stabilises, your organs repair, your muscles recover from exercise and your brain stores memories. Without adequate sleep, your long-term health will be impaired. The Sleep Health Foundation says individuals vary in their sleep needs, but most adults require between 7 and 9 hours a night to feel refreshed and function well the next day. That is 7 hours of actual sleep time and not just 7 hours in bed. There is a difference.
