The Importance of Sleeping

Sleeping is a biological necessity of every living being, not to mention humans. Humans need rest to relieve fatigue due to daily activities. In addition to relieve fatigue, it turns out to sleep at night also provide benefits for our bodies. Here are some importance of sleeping:

1. Increase the body resistance

When we sleep at the night, the body produces hormone melatonin which one of its functions is an antioxidant to ward off viruses and free radicals. If our sleeping time is less, then the production of this hormone melatonin will also be reduced. So, it makes the immune system lower. In addition, in order to maximize the release of this hormone melatonin, it is preferable to sleep in the dark place than in the bright place because it is able to inhibit the process.

2. Regenerating cells

The process of regenerating cells occurs when we are sleeping. If our sleeping time is less, then this process will not run perfectly. Therefore, sleep is enough to optimize the cell regeneration process. So, there will be some new energies to start the activity in the morning.

3. Improve memory quality

When we are sleeping, there is a process of memory consolidation in our brain. The memories, feelings, and events that occur are recorded in our brain will be consolidated when we sleep. Therefore, no wonder if we are experiencing problems it will carry dreams. Well, the more often the brain to do this process will be more sharply the brain in consolidating memory. Therefore, the better our sleep quality will increase our memory capacity.

4. Improve metabolic processes

The digestive organs are one of the organs in the body that constantly work non-stop, even when we sleep. In fact, this digestive organ works best when we sleep. When we are sleeping, the stomach will perform peristaltic movement that aims to drain the entire contents of the stomach. Therefore, do not be surprised if many people who have habit of defecating in the morning after waking up.

Short Story Analysis : A Haunted House by Virginia Woolf

A Haunted Hous e by Virginia Woolf             Whatever hour you woke there was a door shutting.

And he added, “Oh, but here too!” “It’s upstairs,” she murmured. “And in the garden,” he whispered “Quietly,” they said, “or we shall wake them.”                But it wasn’t that you woke us. Oh, no. “They’re looking for it; they’re drawing the curtain,” one might say, and so read on a page or two. “Now they’ve found it,” one would be certain, stopping the pencil on the margin. And then, tired of reading, one might rise and see for oneself, the house all empty, the doors standing open, only the wood pigeons bubbling with content and the hum of the threshing machine sounding from the farm. “What did I come in here for? What did I want to find?” My hands were empty. “Perhaps it’s upstairs then?” The apples were in the loft. And so down a
