  • Question
    Is sleeping time wasted?
    Community Answer
    No, sleep is essential for physical and mental health (and ultimately, a good life). Sleep is the time when most of your healing takes place - whether you know it or not, you incur some damage every day, especially on a cellular level; with chronic lack of sleep, this damage piles up and can eventually lead to serious mental and physical problems. In the shorter term, you will look worse, feel worse, function less efficiently, and just get less out of life if you don't sleep enough. Sleep is also when your memories are consolidated, when your brain sorts through the experiences of the day and prepares for the future, and when toxins are flushed out of your brain. If you're young, sleep is when most of your growth and development (body and brain) takes place. Getting enough sleep is one of the most important things you can do to be your best and get the most out of life.
