"Improve your Memory with a Good Night Sleep"

Sleep makes it easier for our body to metabolise free radicals-molecules that are said to lead to the ageing of cells and even cause cancer. In a recent study carried out by the University of Chicago, 11 healthy young men were allowed only four hours of sleep a day for six days. At the end of this period, their body cells were performing like those of 60-year-old, and their blood insulin level comparable with that of a diabetes sufferer!

Sleep deprivation even affects the production of white blood cells and the hormone, cortisol, making a person more prone to infectious and circulatory diseases.
