How much sleep we need for better functioning of brain and body

Hello friends!
So let's get this started and in this blog I am going to talk about how much sleep we need for better functioning of our body and brain.
It is not something new, in everything in exam stress, when you need to get your work done,or just having fun browsing late night and everything else.
Sleep is something that is most neglected and this could lead us to our doom .
Don't get me wrong we need to sacrifice a lot of things in our path to success but it should be just temporary and it is very important for you to have enough sleep and in this blog I'm going to discuss the benefits of good sleep.
Make no mistake thinking that sacrificing sleep will get you to your success it will do opposite.
Here are some benefits of a good sleep.
1. Your body will have enough time to recover not from physical work but your mental work as well. Just like we have limited energy to perform a physical task our mind also has limited amount of energy to think and don't think that just by stopping a mental work you're providing your brain some rest our mind has tendency to keep thinking constantly and it needs a restart.
2. Obviously when we sleep our cortisol levels go down and body loses stress meanwhile our growth hormones are at their peak when we sleep and our broken muscle tissues heal and grow.
3. A wise man once said that you can't solve a problem with the same thinking you have created it hence you need a restart.

Now going to main topic how much sleep we need first what a good sleep means spending time in bed doesn't mean sleeping,it's just waste of time.
Hours of sleep needed changes during the course of your life and the older we grow less sleep we need but 7 to 8 hours sleep is best for you if you're 18+ .
Here are some tips to make sure that you get better sleep
1. Have a regular and punctual sleeping routine. Means go to bed at a fixed time and wake up at a fixed time.
2. Lower down your stress level,if you have trouble falling asleep don't do the intense workout a few hours before your bedtime increased cortisol level will mess you with your sleep.
3. Watch what you eat and this is very important. Add more magnesium in your diet.
4. Try ZMA it's not a sleep producing pill its just a supplement support good sleep and its legal.
