A sound sleep to nurture life

Image
As we all know, sleep is very important to any individual. It makes us feel better. Sleep is currently one of the easiest thing to give up by a lot of hardworking individuals. They would   rather work late hours and finish the task that is required from them and miss on hours to no sleep at  all. This could affect one’s health, as those who are getting less sleep could suffer from stroke, heart  failure, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and other chronic illnesses. On the other hand, people  suffering from insomnia are most likely to manifest symptoms of anxiety and depression, which can  ultimately affect their performance and their relationships.
