Sleep...

I recently read an article entitled "Benefits of a Good Night's Sleep" by Kristyn Kusek. I decided to look at an article on sleep, because it is vital for your health. The article talks about how good sleep can reduce disease risk, boost your mental strength, and help you maintain body weight. One example of disease reduction is that good sleep keeps cortisol levels in balance which can help prevent cancer, which seems to be a huge cause of death. A good night's sleep can also help with memory, creativity, and problem solving. The article lastly discusses how good sleep can keep hormones in check which prevent you from over eating.

Overall, I thought the article was too short and lacked content. For most people, they would be happy and with the short style and quick to the point nature. To me, the main point of this article is "Quality sleep helps rejuvenate the mind and body." Many, many people under sleep, and you can see it clearly. I admit I don't always get the eight hours that is desirable as the correct number, but I do try. You feel much better with a good night's rest, and personally, I love to sleep! Overall a decent article and quick read, pretty informative to someone who doesn't know much about sleep.
