Why Sleep Is Important for Your Overall Health

We’ve always heard about the importance of getting a good night’s sleep, but do we have any idea as to why sleep is important?

But why is sleep so important for our over all health? Does getting a good night’s sleep really make that much of a difference? In short, yes- it makes a huge difference.
