There is nothing that affects how you look and feel more than sleep.
In fact, research shows your sleep (or lack of it) affects your mental health, physical health, your memory, immune system, blood pressure, and social interactions.ย
Sleep isย the time your body resets, regenerates, and revives.ย ย
Achieving restful, deep sleep patterns, or REM, is key for regenerating and rebuilding body tissues, and vital to a successful anti-aging program. Hormonal secretion peaks in production about two hours into REM sleep, lowering muscle degrading stress hormones like cortisol and raising muscle building and fat burning hormones like IGF-1, GH and testosterone.ย ย
