Health and Exercise Sleep Facts

A minimum of 7.5 hours of quality sleep per night is important to keep your immune system strong to prevent your body from getting colds and the flu.

Sleeping on a newer mattress that is one to four years old can reduce lower back pain by 62.8 percent.

Poor sleep is linked to hormone secretions which can cause obesity.

Inadequate sleep weakens the body's ability to use insulin and can lead to diabetes.  

Insomnia early in life can be linked to clinical depression and other disorders.

Those who get at least nine hours of sleep per night are more likely to participate in high intensity exercises such as biking or running.  

Those who exercise in the morning and at least four hours a week have less difficulty falling asleep.
