Proper Sleep Matters

Being able to get a good night's sleep in this stressful modern age is becoming more and more difficult. This is especially true in these troubled financial times. But sleep is one of the major keys to health, healing and longevity. Studies show that people who sleep more are in greater health, think more clearly, have more energy, live longer and their hearts work easier throughout the day.

When we sleep at night the liver is busy re-energizing the blood. This is one reason why over 50% of our blood ends up in the liver and spleen overnight. It is important, therefore, to keep our blood flowing and upon waking move it away from the organs and up into the brain. Doing so will help prevent strokes, which occur primarily before 9 a.m. due to the large amount of blood that gets regenerated in the internal organs. During sleep the fire energies of the body slow down to recharge its organs. However, if you don't get sufficient sleep, the liver is unable to rejuvenate and the blood energy becomes deficient. Now the heart must work harder to maintain consciousness and make up for the lack that the liver is no longer providing.

If you ever experienced a day on only a few hours of sleep, then you probably noticed that your heart rate accelerated faster and harder. Human consciousness is fueled by the combined energies of the heart and kidneys, while thinking clarity, mood, overall metabolism and energy are governed by the liver. Without sufficient sleep the whole system is operating on its emergency reserves throughout the day. For those in good health this is not usually a problem if it occurs sporadically. But if you are chronically sleep deprived you are going to cause a host of short and long term illnesses. Deep sleep is necessary and critical to cell regeneration and the deeper the sleep, the greater is the healing and rebuilding of the body.
