Rest and relaxation are just as important to our body as exercise and

healthy eating. If you don’t get enough of them you can make yourself ill. Your body

is a bit like a battery. If it is not allowed to recharge itself through sleep and

relaxation it may stop working properly. Lack of sleep affects our ability to concentrate.

When you dream, your brain may be clearing itself out and preparing itself for the next

day's thinking. During your teens, you need at least eight hours' sleep a night. If you

stay out late, try to go to bed early the next night. The effects of lack of sleep can

build up over several days. When you are awake you make many demands on your mind and

body. Your body needs a period of rest to repair itself and prevent it from getting worn

out. During sleep, substances called hormones stimulate body tissues to grow and repair

themselves. If you have troubles getting to sleep, try reading a book to calm your mind or

take some exercise and avoid tea, coffee or food before bedtime. A hot, milky drink may

help you relax.
