Highlights the critical role of sleep in maintaining health and longevity. Getting fewer than six hours of rest on a consistent basis is linked to a higher risk of premature death and chronic conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and dementia.
Sleep is described as serving two equally important functions. REM sleep supports brain activity, aiding creativity, learning, and emotional balance. In contrast, deep Non-REM sleep is essential for physical recovery, tissue repair, cell regeneration, and the removal of damaged proteins from the brain that could otherwise accumulate.
To promote optimal rest, several strategies are recommended: avoiding alcohol and heavy meals at night, reducing exposure to artificial light, maintaining a cool bedroom environment, and supporting the body with key nutrients such as magnesium, vitamin D, and zinc.
