The Importance Of Resting
Most of us spend a large part of the day under some pressure and a significant number of occupations both work and family, so being able to get a good rest is very restorative and helps to improve our quality of life, achieving physical well-being and emotional.
The quality of rest is essential for the biochemical functioning of the body and for our cognition, especially for learning and memory.
On the other hand, promoting rest reduces stress and emotional discomfort, as well as the muscular tension inherent in states of nervousness or tension.
Possible factors influencing lack of rest
- When we cannot get adequate rest we are prone to some health problems. Among them, the most common may be stress, which affects a significant number of people regardless of age and is also related to serious illnesses.
- Maintaining a pessimistic posture towards all aspects of life, an attitude in which negative thoughts predominate, affects our state of mind. Of course, this leads to different diseases, having a significant impact on our quality of life.
