Sleep
Most people don’t get enough sleep. Your body needs sufficient sleep to rest and regenerate, it is vital to the regular daily cycle for good health. You can’t survive on four hours of sleep a night. Many people think they can get along with not much sleep but your body needs it. Without a sufficient amount of sleep people became irritable, have joint aches and pains, experience weight gain, and become generally lethargic and less mentally sharp. Research has shown time and again when you get more sleep, mood improves, physically you feel better and cognitive ability improves. When they do this research with college students getting more sleep, test scores always improve!

2. Less pain-Getting enough sleep may actually make you hurt less. Many studies have shown a link between sleep loss and lower pain threshold.
3. Lower risk of injury-Sleeping enough might actually keep you safer. Sleep deprivationhas been linked with many accidents and disasters.
