Here. I am sharing with you 6 top reasons why you should have quality sleep every night.
An optimal amount of sleep for most healthy adults is anywhere from 6-9 hours a night. Too much (which isn’t the problem for most of us) or too little can have serious long-term consequences.
1. Better sleep can help you in fat loss.

4. Sleep 8 hours and prevent heart disease

6. Sleep, Melatonin and breast cancer
Harvard researchers have shown that women who work at night are at increased risk for breast and colon cancer. The Harvard scientists also found that women with low morning levels of melatonin had a higher risk for developing breast cancer. Other research has shown that melatonin slows ovarian production of estrogen, a hormone that is known to spur cancer cell growth. Melatonin creation accelerates while we sleep at night.
Dozens of other studies have identified a wide range of health risks associated with inadequate sleep, so there’s plenty of research backing up the idea that good sleeping habits should be a priority for anyone who cares about their physical health.
