Perfect Your Super Power

SHR # 2955:: Perfect Your Super Power - Matt Gallant - Sleep is the strongest medicine we have and it's free. Poor sleep will weaken your immune system, impair your memory, destroy your energy and keep you from making the best gains. And sleep has a specific architecture. Laying still with your eyes closed for 8 hours isn't sleep. We enter into various phases of sleep in one-and-a-half hour intervals. Deep sleep repairs the body. REM sleep repairs the brain and facilitates memory consolidation. Slow wave sleep produces growth hormone. Testosterone is produced right after the REM sleep stage. When deciding to take a supplement or drug to help you sleep it's important to understand that the supplement or drug honors the various stages of sleep.
