Getting a good night sleep is not only pleasant but also a great way to keep optimum health. Good sleeping patterns positively affect many health aspects of the human body, from organ health to mood and behavior. However, the demands of our busy lifestyles, health complications, and stress can take away from our shut eye time and the ongoing sleep deprivation can have negative short and long term effects on our overall health.
