For those who suffer from insomnia, it can be not only distressing but can also affect your health. Working toward better sleep is a worthy goal, as many health benefits are derived from it.

Some of the health improvements you can expect from better sleep include:

•       Sharper thinking. When sleep is sufficient, the brain is more efficient. Both memory and the ability to grasp and learn new concepts are greatly improved with good sleep patterns.        
•       Improved heart health. During normal deep sleep or REM sleep, your heart is relaxed, slowing down your blood pressure. This gives your blood vessels much-needed rest. This will reduce your chances of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.       
•       Better outlook. Your daily mood will improve with good sleep patterns. You will feel less anxious, more relaxed, and happy to participate in things you enjoy.           
•       Blood sugar control. During deep sleep, the glucose level in your blood is lowered. This reduces your likelihood of contracting level 2 diabetes, even if it runs in your family, as long as you maintain a healthy weight.                                          
•       Better eating habits. When you are fully rested, your body is less likely to have sugar or carb cravings. This will make it easier to control excess snacking between meals
•       Better immunity. When your body is fully recharged via deep sleep, it will be much more capable of fighting off sickness.
