Possibly: There are several phases of sleep and one of the most important levels for maximum rest and renovation is delta phase. This is the deepest level of sleep in which hgh (human growth hormone) is released and in adults provides one of the most potented hormones that naturally helps prevent tissue and organ breakdown. In growing individuals, adequate hgh levels will insure proper growth.

It is good : The fact is a good night's sleep is essential for health. Sleeping in the right position at night for 7-8 hours without any interruptions is what doctors recommend. Following good sleep hygiene will help you to achieve 7-8 hours of healthy sleep. Hope it helps.
