Sleep. Something many people, including me, don't get enough of some nights. But sleep is important for your physical and mental health, since it repairs your body. An ongoing sleep deficiency may increase risks of diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, and strokes.Your performance and reaction time suffer, even if you lose 1-2 hours of sleep. Research shows, people that are sleepy, get in more car accidents than people who are drunk. As you may see, sleepiness may not only affect you, but it can also hurt and injure other people.
If you want to catch up on some sleep, you can take a cat nap during the day. Even as little as 30 minutes, every now and then can do the trick. Personally I can't sleep during the day. If you have a similar situation I suggest working yourself out with some kind of mini workout four hours before bed. Not only is it good for you, but your also going to be extremely tired when it comes to bedtime. Another way may be to snack on cheese and crackers before bed. It may seem silly, but it combines carbohydrates and calcium or protein that helps you relax and feel calm. So next time you feel tired during the day, try catching up on some sleep. :)
