Sleep is crucial for lifelong well-being, influencing mental health, quality of life, and physical well-being.

Quality sleep aids brain function, fostering learning and memory. Studies indicate its role in enhancing
problem-solving skills, decision-making, attention, and creativity.

Moreover, sleep significantly impacts physical health. It contributes to heart and blood vessel repair,
while sleep deprivation links to kidney disease, heart problems, high blood pressure, stroke, and
diabetes. Sleep also regulates hunger hormones, affecting ghrelin (hunger) and leptin (fullness).
Insufficient sleep elevates ghrelin, leading to increased hunger and decreased leptin, affecting satiety.

Understanding these health benefits highlights the importance of prioritizing sleep for a balanced and
healthy life, encompassing both mental and physical well-being.
