SLEEP IS THE BEST MEDICINE

During sleep, body temperature is lower and muscles and metabolism are less active. The brain does not always need less energy during sleep than when awake. Because: During sleep, body and mind are also active: growth processes take place, energy reserves are filled up and cell tissue is renewed. However, the brain can not simultaneously collect information and store it in long-term storage. So what you have learned must be taken into long-term memory at a time when the brain can not absorb new information. So best, while the person is sleeping. Sleep helps to consolidate memory contents. If sleep is disturbed, this leads to limitations in these processes.
