While there are many reasons resulting in people not getting enough sleep, consistently missing out on sleep can cause serious problems with your health. Apart from feeling tired throughout the day and inability to concentrate, not getting enough sleep can also weaken your immune system and make it more difficult for your brain to process and store new information‌.

More importantly sleep deficiency in the longer run is linked to many health problems, including heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, obesity, and depression – all chronic illnesses we want to avoid if we wish to live a healthy life.

So if you are trying to heal from a chronic health problem or mystery illness and have hit a wall in your healing despite doing all that you can from a nutritional standpoint, consider looking at the quantity and quality of your sleep. It could be just the dimension you have missed out to help move the needle in your healing.
