Three Key Messages

1.Sleep heals both mind and body and raises threshold of pain. Many healing processes, including wound healing, have been shown to be positively influenced by sleep.

2.Growth hormone is primarily secreted during sleep. Both heart rate and blood pressure are at an optimum level during sleep.

3.Persons not sleeping well are at an increased risk of obesity (a forerunner of diabetes), greater risk of cancer and increased production of inflammatory chemicals that raise propensity for heart attack and stroke.
