How is sleep related to health and wellbeing?

Good health is a triad balanced across Mind (mental /emotional), Body (structural /neuromuscular), Biochemical (energy production) One of the most important building blocks of vitality resides in the power of sleep. We now know sleep performs many vital functions to sustain life and vitality through balancing the triad of health .At night our biology is organized to repair tissues that have been assaulted-by pollution and environmental stress.
  • Sleep rejuvenates our body for renewed energy, through the process of self detoxification
  • Sleep recharges your immune system and repairs damages done to your body
  • Sleep helps process, sort and store everything you learnt, felt, or experienced during the day
  • Sleep promotes growth, enhances memory ,sharpens the mind, stabilizes the emotions and slows the aging process

The Triad Of Health is knocked out of balance by too much stress.

  • Mental stress such as work pressure, worry shock, family crisis and financial crisis
  • Biochemical Stress such as dehydration, overuse of antibiotics , cigarettes, viruses, toxins and poor eating habits
  • Structural Stress such as car accidents, birth traumas, falls, stroke, heart attack and concussions
  • Electromagnetic stress, such as over exposure to high magnetic field live microwaves, mobile phones, overhead power lines, electrical appliances
Stress can be good for you up to a point, stimulating red alert, stress re-diverts energy to the body's most basic survival systems. This was always designed to be a short term survival response.

It unleashes toxic chemicals, increasing blood acidity and cancer causing free radicals. It reduces oxygen and nutrients like Magnesium, Vitamin B6, B12 and folate, making it harder to exercise Leading to ill health and poor brain function.

The next result is an inability to handle other stressors, leading to ill health manifesting in signs like headaches, anger, irritable bowl, insomnia, snoring, and so on. Locked in survival mode, a stressed person often hunts for survival leverage, losing the opportunity to appreciate true friendship, love and all the enjoyment life has to offer.

Stress locks away people's conscious awareness by focusing the energies of the mind on their problems rather than the deeper potential in their lives.

The only time you escape stress is during sleep, when your body is repaired and prepared for the next day's challenges. Without enough sleep, your sleep debt compounds interest in the form of accumulating stress- the number one cause of illness and disease.

Sleep is your built-in stress management system.
