Here are 5 Health Benefits of Sleep:

1 – Live Longer – Too little sleep is linked to a shorter lifespan and that means less time to eat donuts!

2 – Control Stress – a good night’s slumber is a great way to alleviate stress and help drop cortisol.

3 – Improve Memory – If you are trying to learn something, whether it’s physical or mental, you learn it to a certain point with practice, but something happens while you sleep that makes you learn it better.
