Why sleep matters: what happens in your body

Sleep stages, hormones, memory, appetite and immunity.

During sleep the brain cycles through light, deep and REM stages. Deep sleep supports body repair; REM supports memory and mood.

Short sleep raises hunger hormones, lowers focus and weakens immunity. Most adults need 7-9 hours.
