Sleep and Productivity

Have you ever felt a lack of energy at a time in life, the body often felt tired, lacked concentration and so on.

Actually, many complaints like this come from those who are active and productive working, trying or even working as self-employed. However, not many know the cause of why they often experience it. One of the reasons why you feel easily tired, lacking energy and having problems with concentration is the less optimal sleep of your night a day – a day.

Not many discuss night sleep and its relation to productivity or health and even if there are most only explain as needed and affirmation of the importance of night sleep.

However, based on a medical research ……. around …% of people who experience difficulty sleeping or night sleep pattern disorders actually experience the same thing as above. Most of them are those who have permanent jobs, are an enterpreneur or work as freelancers.

So, sleep really determines one’s productivity.

Why does sleep occupy an important portion of that size in our lives?

Maybe you’ve heard quotes that say “Someone can stand a few days without drinking, and a few weeks without eating, but can only last 3 days without sleep” At a glance, this sentence feels like a meme that often circulates on our social media . However, look more clearly. There are many things that involved or relate to our sleep style.

Then, how sleep can be that important?

When someone sleeps, actually the body does not stop to properly rest as we thought so far. When we sleep, our body does many things that cannot be done when awake.

1. Body cleans cells – dead cells in the body

Instantly the body finally falls asleep and rests, then all the energy used when the body is usually awake becomes unused. At this time, the body begins to do clean – clean including cleaning up dead cells that occur naturally due to metabolism while repairing cells and replacing them with new cells.

2. The body produces the hormone melatonin

Melatonin is one of the most important hormones needed by optimal body metabolism. Melatonin will regulate the wake-up cycle, is a powerful antioxidant and is a hormone that will help the production of insulin that is useful in regulating blood sugar.

3. Body produces Growth Hormone

Growth hormone is a hormone that helps the body’s development and growth. This hormone persists as soon as a person reaches adulthood and has experienced a cessation of growth. Growth hormone is a hormone that regulates insulin and regulates mood and energy in the body. This hormone is unfortunately only released and produced at night when someone is darkened in his night’s sleep

4. Body detoxifies

Detoxification is a very important thing that aims to remove and eliminate toxins – toxins stored in the body due to environmental, drug and lifestyle exposure. The main detoxification is carried out by the heart or liver which will occur at night when someone is fast asleep.

Some of these reasons make sleep an integral part of our daily health and productivity. If sleep has a disorder even though it hasn’t reached the stage of causing disease, our productivity has actually begun to be disrupted.
