How do sleep disorders affect our health?
Sleep is a very important factor in our health. It makes up a considerable part of our lives. After all, most people need 7-9 hours of sleep a day, which also means that we oversleep a third of our lives. But this is exactly what we need, because our body and mind rest and recover during the night. Some regions, on the other hand, are very active. At night, impressions from the day are processed and our body internalizes what we have learned. Sleep can also be described as the "janitor of the brain", as harmful degradation products produced during the day are removed at night. This naturally improves our brain performance the next day. But getting enough sleep also has a positive effect on our health. It strengthens the immune system and prevents cardiovascular diseases, obesity, depression and diabetes mellitus.
