Sleep is essential during recovery. You require adequate rest during the early recovery phase to enable your body to perform vital tasks that speed your recovery.
The brain plays a vital role in your recuperation. It takes in lots of information that needs to be sorted to help you recover. While sleeping, the brain sorts out this information faster and more effectively, improving your recovery time.
Also, the brain is responsible for regulating enzymes and hormones in the body while we’re asleep. Getting enough sleep enables your mind to perform these functions better, which also speeds recovery.
Lack of enough sleep can lead to anxiety, impulsivity, poor emotional regulation, and depression, all of which can increase the chances of relapse.
