Sleep isn't just about feeling rested, it's the foundation of good health. From your brain to your immune system, sleep affects nearly every part of your body. At Mingalar Medical Center, we often remind our patients that a good night’s sleep is just as important as eating well and staying active.
Yet, in a world full of late nights, screens, and stress, millions of people struggle with getting quality sleep, and often don’t realize how it’s affecting their health.
Why is Sleep so Important?
Getting 7–9 hours of sleep per night helps your body:
Improve memory, focus, and decision-making
Maintain heart health and reduce stroke risk
Strengthen the immune system
Regulate appetite and metabolism
Balance mood and reduce anxiety/depression
According to the CDC, poor sleep is linked to chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and even depression.
