Catching at least 7-8 hours of sleep a night can help you
- be slimmer :: lack of sleep is linked to obesity. Sleep is just as important for your weight as exercise!
- be cold-free :: fewer than 7 hours of sleep a night makes you 3 times more likely to catch a cold than those who get at least 8 hours of sleep per night
- be smarter :: proteins build up in the brain when it hasn't had time to rest, making it harder to process information and learn
- have a healthier heart :: not getting enough sleep puts you at risk for high blood pressure and other cardiovascular problems
