Staying busy at the expense of sleep comes at a high cost. Evidence now reveals that being underslept not only leads to poorer job performance, it also negatively impacts brain health, cognitive function, emotional balance, relationships, and overall wellness.
Yet, why is that to be fully functional and healthy, we need to shut out the world for seven to nine out of 24 hours a day?
In my latest article and video, I explore the four main theories that seek to explain why we sleep and discuss the many benefits of slumber.
Topics include:
- Busy and burnt-out vs. rested and rejuvenated
- What makes sleep essential
- Theories on why we sleep (inactivity, energy conservation, restoration, and brain plasticity theories)
- The many benefits of sleep including its role in cardiovascular, hormone, metabolic, immune, brain, and emotional health

The reasons why we sleep are complex and are still being explored. What we do know for sure is that when we get the proper amount of sleep, our brain, hormones, and whole body is optimized.
