If you don't sleep at night, you may end up with problems worse than bags under your eyes. There are a number of reasons the human body needs sleep.
Sleep offers the body the chance to rest and restore itself.
Now researchers in England say sleep may be important for preventing and healing stomach ulcers. They found that levels of a protein responsible for repairing the stomach lining from the daily stress of processing food are higher at night. The researchers believe this is because the stomach is meant to get its regular repair job as you sleep. If you're awake and eating during this time, ulcers may have a better chance of developing. If you have trouble getting to sleep at night on an ongoing basis, you should talk to your doctor.
