Healthy Sleep Habits
Quality sleep restores the body, sharpens the mind, and strengthens immunity.
Introduction
Sleep is a biological necessity, not a luxury. It regulates hormones, repairs tissues, and consolidates memory.
Scope
Healthy sleep involves both quantity (7–9 hours for adults) and quality (deep, uninterrupted rest). It also includes regular schedules and a supportive environment.
