Helps Your Muscles: Sleep is a time of recovery for your body. If you miss out on sleep your muscles will recover from exercise slower, you will have poorer attention, you have a higher risk of obesity, depression, fatigue and even catching more respiratory infection. Sleep is important for a stronger, smarter, healthier body.
