Expository Reading: Why Sleep is Important
Sleep is a vital part of our daily routine. It’s during sleep that our body has time to wind down and repair itself. Research shows that people who consistently lack sleep often struggle to keep up with their daily responsibilities.
A good night's sleep also improves memory. Scientists have found that the brain is like a computer—it needs to clear its cache to perform well. Without rest, the wind of stress can blow through your day, making everything feel harder. So, next time you consider staying up late, remember: “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”
