HOW TO GET RESTFUL SLEEP

Sleep is just about the most important consideration in regaining your health. Your liver works overtime during deep sleep to detoxify harmful chemicals in your bloodstream and also helps to rebuild itself so it will be more efficient doing this work. Muscles rebuild stronger during sleep especially if exercise was taken within 36 hours. All organs replenish and heal themselves during restful sleep.
