Extract

Just like we need water and food to survive, we also need sleep. Sleep is heavily influenced by circadian rhythms, and hormonal/environmental factors as well. It is a restorative process that gives us energy for the day ahead of us. It gives the body a chance to repair muscles and other tissues and gives the brain a chance to organize and archive your memories.
