Sleep Protocol
Why Is Sleep So Important?
Sleep is a fundamental pillar of health that impacts every aspect of our well-being. During sleep, our bodies engage in crucial processes of recovery and rejuvenation, making it as vital as nutrition, exercise, and stress management.
NOTE: Sleep kit products and dosing have changed since the filming of this video. See information below for updated information.
Key Benefits of Sleep:
Cognitive Function and Mental Health: During sleep, especially deep sleep (REM sleep), the brain processes information, consolidates memories, and clears out toxins accumulated during the day. Insufficient sleep impairs cognitive functions, affecting memory, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities, and is linked to increased risks of anxiety and depression.
Physical Health and Repair: Sleep is crucial for the body’s anabolic processes. This is when tissue repair, detoxification, and hormone production occur. Chronic sleep deprivation leads to increased catabolism (breaking down tissues), accelerating aging and raising the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic conditions.
Emotional Regulation: Lack of sleep can disrupt the balance of stress hormones like cortisol, making it harder to manage emotions and increasing irritability and stress response.
