You opt to drink lots and lots of vitamins and supplements just to be so called healthy. But, the question is are you really healthy?

Well, the answer is maybe. Our bodies are not machines that you can just leave on for hours and hours. Wait, even machines wear down. How much more a human body, right? So, what you need is some much needed rest of around 8 hours. This is ideal to maintain or improve health. Why do we need sleep?

Duh! It is no brainer! We all need sleep to get some rest and for our body's machineries to rest.
