REM sleep is an essential part of staying healthy because it is during this time that our brain allows us to relax and our body can heal any wounds or illnesses that it may have encountered. Without sleep, you get sick much easier, have much less strength and energy, and cannot focus as easily because the brain and body have been drastically overworked.

Sure, sleep can be a hassle sometimes, but for many, sleep is also a great source of power and strength as it can allow us to wind down after a stressful day or for a while be alone and not have the outside world forever on top of us.

Take care all.
