The benefits of sleep

In recent years there has been a significant amount of scientific research proving the benefits of sleep.

It has been linked with such things as improved memory, longer life and improved creativity.

If we take improved memory for example apparently when we are learning new skills we need sleep to rehearse these skills, whether mental or physical, using our subconscious. 

What has this got to do with confidence? Well, if we can be sure we can learn and memorise anything we focus on as well as feeling well rested. Surely that will boost our feeling of well being.

In addition, as I have mentioned before, it is my view, that being fit and training hard helps boost confidence.

Well guess what? Sleep also helps us benefit from training and exercise allowing us to recover more quickly and gain more from the training sessions.

I'm off to bed
