Clocking in your eight hours of quality shut-eye each night is paramount to overall health. Research has already established that sleep patterns are responsible for things like information retention, memory consolidation, and reparation of bodily tissue. We know that consistent sleep increases our ability to function during wakefulness, and newer studies are even showing that disruption of our natural circadian rhythyms decreases brain health. More specifically, this may leave us vulnerable to risk-factors for developing anxiety, alzheimers and other pathology.
