Pillar #2 - Sleep and Rest Part 1

  • During sleep, our body shuts down and repairs itself.
  • Our immune system recharges
  • Our major organs are restored
  • Our old cells are replaced with new ones
  • Our mind relaxes and orders its thoughts, creating a healthy mental state

An estimated fifty to seventy million live on the verge of mental and physical collapse due to lack of sleep.

Without enough sleep...

  • We increase our risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
  • We become clumsy and "sleep drunk".
  • We jeopardize our jobs due to reduced productivity.
  • We endanger our lives and the lives of others.
  • We reduce our sex drives.
  • We invite diseases.
  • We jeopardize our marriage.
