Catching those Zzz’s is about more than feeling refreshed in the morning.

While you sleep, your brain goes into power-cleaning mode, flushing out toxins that build up during the day. This keeps your mind sharp and memory on point.

Plus, sleep strengthens the connections between brain cells, which are crucial for learning and processing information.

Skimp on sleep, and you’ll be dealing with brain fog, forgetfulness, and difficulty focusing. Chronic sleep loss may increase your risk for health problems down the road.

So ditch the all-nighters and aim for 7 to 8 hours of quality sleep nightly. A well-rested brain is a happy, healthy brain — ready to tackle anything!
