[article] 5 benefits of sleep
Health: Not getting enough Z's can compromise your immune system making you more susceptible to viruses. Plus, living in a constant state of sleep debt can contribute to high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
Smarts: Even though your body is at rest, your brain is buzzing. During sleep is when the brain sorts and processes information you absorbed while awake.
Weight Control: Recent research indicates a relationship between insufficient sleep and inability to lose or even maintain weight.
Coordination: Trying new activities that require coordination like step aerobics and playing the piano can be made more difficult after a bad night's sleep.
Beauty: They don't call it "beauty sleep" for nothing. While you sleep, your body repairs itself. Experts say you need 8 hours of sleep to avoid puffy, bloodshot eyes, as well as dark under-eye circles and a pale washed-out complexion.

Comments
If not on a regular basis, the soreness from 500 sit-ups won't be felt until the next morning after sleep.
Morning breath, secreted resin from eyes, and the morning wood all occur after sleep.
so, who wants to get some good sleep together, that way we can motivate each other to get the full 8 hours.
I was just saying that i got 11 hours of sleep on both of those days cuz i was tired. I love sleeping in with my bf!
