Sleep is so essential for an active, productive day — but many don't realize just how crucial a good
sleep routine is for your holistic health (and appearance!). Getting enough sleep does much more for
your body than it does for your mood, believe it or not; during what's known as REM sleep, your
brain processes information you've taken in during the day and improves your long-term memory.
Plus, your body often works on repairing itself during a good night's sleep, and in younger adults
and children, growth development also occurs overnight. Researchers are discovering more links
between a healthy sleep routine and other holistic benefits, from nutrition and metabolism to
emotional wellbeing, every year.
And since you're looking into how many hours of sleep you should be getting each night, now's a
good time to answer the age-old question: Can you really "catch up" on lost sleep? If you're
someone who likes to sleep in on weekends and be a night owl during the work week, listen up:
Recent research out of the University of Colorado Boulder suggests that people who regularly
"sleep in" on weekends end up less healthy than those who are routinely sleep-deprived. It's best to
try and actively get as much routine sleep as possible — even on the weekends.
But how much sleep you should be getting really depends on your lifestyle. Sleep experts with
medical backgrounds have previously established that multiple factors determine how long you
should be sleeping each night — often, the amount of your daily physical activity comes into play,
plus any pre-existing health conditions, and more. A major factor that currently dictates widely
accepted sleep guidelines is age.
The amount of sleep you need depends on various factors — especially your age. While sleep needs
