Over the past few decades, researchers identified poor sleep as a primary risk factor for several physical and mental ailments. In fact, sleep experts believe that poor sleep will wreak havoc on the normal functioning of your organs – regardless of how balanced your diet is or how physically active you are. In this article, we will briefly cover the definition of healthy sleep, as well as the potential side effects of poor sleep.

The Definition Of Healthy Sleep

According to the National Sleep Foundation [1], healthy sleep consists of several elements, including:

• Short duration (15-20 minutes or less) between lying on the bed and falling asleep
• Regular sleep that lasts 7–9 hours every day
• Non-interrupted sleep during the night
• Feeling energized and refreshed in the morning
• Being able to be productive the next day without periods of exhaustion
• The absence of any abnormal behavior associated with sleep, such as snoring, sleep apnea, or restlessness.

Sleep Disorders

By far, insomnia is the most prevalent sleep disorder out there. The causes of this condition are multifactorial and include chronic anxiety, stress, and poor sleep hygiene. According to statistics, around 24-36% of insomniacs suffer from a type of anxiety disorder. [2] Moreover, researchers identified sleep disorders to have a primary role in many medical conditions, including depression, neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease), and heart disease.

😳 Tinnitus And Brain Health?

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

The #1 Muscle That Eliminates Joint And Back Pain, Anxiety And Looking Fat

By Mike Westerdal CPT

Can you guess which muscle in your body is the #1 muscle that eliminates joint and back pain, anxiety and looking fat?

This is especially important if you spend a significant amount of time sitting every day (I do, and this really affects me in a big way!)

Working this "hidden survival muscle" that most people are simply not training because no-one ever taught them how will boost your body shape, energy levels, immune system, sexual function, strength and athletic performance when unlocked.

If this "hidden" most powerful primal muscle is healthy, we are healthy.
