Are you getting enough? Sleep
The right amount of sleep per night will be slightl different for everyone. Infants need 12 hours, children need 10 hours, teens 9 hours, and adults 8 hours each night. When you sleep less than you need, you will tend to eat more, which will cause weight gain. You will also have less energy, and alertness. Many accidents are caused by people that fall asleep at the wheel. Our bodies need enough sleep time to repair and recharge. We can't survive without sleep. There have been studies done, that concluded that people who got less than 4 or 5 hours of sllep per night for long periods of time, were at high risk of getting Diabetes. Too much sleep is not good either. You will have less energy when you sleep too much. Not getting enough sleep is the worst of the two situations. Most of us don't get enough sleep because of all of the things we have to do. New parents know all about this. For those of you unfortunate ones that have to work 2 or 3 jobs, I will pray for you to have someone to come into your life to help you. No one should have to work that much, and enjoy life so little.
