Why do we sleep and why do we dream?
.
We tend to think of sleep as a time when the mind and body shut down. But this is not the case; sleep is an active period in which a lot of important processing, restoration, and strengthening occurs.
.
Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life. Getting enough quality sleep at the right times can help protect your mental health, physical health, quality of life, and safety. During sleep your systems are busy flushing out toxins, replacing cells, repairing damaged tissues, and restoring your energy supply. Sleep gives you the time to heal and recover so you can take on the next day.
.
Sleep in crucial for your health, and what about dreams?💤
.
Dreams are basically stories and images that our mind creates while we sleep.
.
Most dreaming occurs during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. The evolutionary theory is that dreaming helps us consolidate and analyze our memories, so we can learn in a safe way, how to deal with challenging or threatening situations. Many experts say dreams exist to help solve problems in our lives, incorporate memories, and process emotions.
