Sleep affects all aspects of your health including:
Immune system
Brain function
Relationships
Work performance
Metabolic health
When it comes to metabolic health, some patients can eat healthy and exercise routinely but still have poor metabolic flexibility.
Why?
It’s because not getting enough restorative sleep can cause chronic elevation of stress hormones which can lead to metabolic problems. Not surprisingly, once these patients are sleeping better, their metabolic health improves.
Getting enough restorative sleep, will make it much easier to stay on course for long-term lifestyle change.
