Is sleep productive? Believe it. Shortchange yourself of the eight hours of sleep you need, and memory, mental focus, driving safety — your health itself — could be in jeopardy. Need more shut-eye? Take half of your before-bed TV hour and give it back to sleep.
I've read that you can live longer without food than without sleep. Your body, organs, mind need the rest. During sleep everything slows down and rejuvenates.

I knew that sleep is imperative to mental health, but I never really realized how important it is for the rest of your body. Before my husband and I got married, we would always take naps either after work or in the afternoon on weekends, now I know how much that helped keep us up and at 'em!
