Lifestyle 4 - Sleep

Sleep deprivation is a confirmed source of stress. Sleep acts to blot out experiences, both good & bad. It rests the muscles and rejuvenates the body. The essential organs of the body - heart, kidneys, liver etc. - use this time to cleanse the system without interference. When sleep is deprived, fatigue impairs decision making, adding to stress. Try to get at least 6 hrs of unbroken sleep in a comfortable place. Wear comfortable clothes so that there is no strain on the body.
