         INTRODUCTION

This is a very important topic that needs to be discussed and stressed out. And I want to thank @suboohi for bringing up this fantastic contest.

It is a well known fact that the body can survive longer without food than it can without sleep. It is known that the brain would eat itself if the body is denied sleep for a lot of days. Sleep is an important aspect of the human life.

Sleep is a time where the body rests, repairs body tissues, builds the human system and relaxes the human brain. I have felt headaches when I stay awake without sleeping for a long time and I just knew that sleeping has a lot of benefits to the human body.
When sleep is not gotten, it has effects on the body... When a person also sleeps excessively, it also affects the body negatively. It is advisable to sleep in moderation.

Sleep is very beneficial for the body and it is advisable to have at least not less than 7 hours of sleep in a night. A person can also rest for 1-2 hours in the afternoon. Our body needs sleep after every day's work and stress. The body needs to rebuild and repair and the best time to do that is during a good sleep.
