Decision Making? When you are faced with a big decision, it is best to sleep on it? If your answer was True, good for you You may appear immobile when you are sacked out, but your body and brain actually remain quite active. In fact, both do much of their important work while you are asleep. “Rest, in the form of sleep, plays a critical
part in rebuilding our bodies-especially brain cells, states, Dr. Edlund, the director of the Center for Circadian Medicine in Sarasota, Florida. When we sleep, our brain retraces memories and devises new ways for using and understanding what happened during the day.” A good night’s sleep also does wonders to improve concentration, reaction time, creativity, mood, and is a powerful anti-aging weapon, that does not carry a high price tag. It leaves you better equipped to
sort out weighty matters, such as whether to buy that house or make a big career move. And REM sleep, which takes up less than a quarter of our normal sleep time, may be critical, Dr. Edlund says, “We find completely new ways of attacking old problems.”
