A good night’s sleep goes a long way to curbing unhealthy cravings, and it gives you the energy you need to move. Sleep really does help your overall health.

according to the

Harvard sleep gurus:

“We all have some sense of the relationship between sleep and our ability to function throughout the day. After all, everyone has experienced the fatigue, bad mood, or lack of focus that often follow a night of poor sleep. What many people do not realize is that a lock of sleep — especially on a regular basis — is associated with long-term health consequences, including chronic medical conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease, and that these conditions may lead to a shortened life expectancy.”
