A good night’s sleep is incredibly important for your health.

In fact, it’s just as important as eating healthy and exercising.

Unfortunately, there’s a lot that can interfere with natural sleep patterns.

People are now sleeping less than they did in the past, and sleep quality has decreased as well.

Here are 10 reasons why good sleep is important.

Many studies show a strong link between short sleep duration and type 2 diabetes.

➦Poor sleeping patterns are strongly linked to depression, particularly for those with a sleeping disorder.

➦Getting at least 8 hours of sleep can improve your immune function and help fight the common cold.
