Sleep Helps Hair Growth?

Sleep and Hair Growth 
Sleep is when the body does most of its repair workWhen we forgo sleep, it shows up physically, emotionally and mentally. When the body loses out on sleep, hair loss can occur. 

Significance 
During sleep, body tissues and muscles are repaired and restored. Growth hormone are secreted during sleep. Sleep is a growing, building and restorative process
Considerations 
Sleep apnea can obstruct breathing passages. It can also cause damage to blood capillaries that carry nutrients and oxygen to hair follicles. This can lead to unhealthy hair and hair loss. 
Stress 
Lack of sleep can be caused by stress; in reverse, lack of sleep can cause stress. Stress can cause an imbalance of hormones in the body and result in hair loss, hair damage and stunted hair growth
Sleep Patterns 
Erratic sleep patterns, too much or too little sleep, can speed up hair loss and be responsible for dull, brittle and dry hair. Sleep lets the body relax, refuel and re-energize, promoting hair growth and hair health. 
Immune System 
Lack of sleep can weaken the body's immune system. This can cause a host of problems, including hair loss, hair breakage and unhealthy hair. 
Benefits 
Eight hours of sleep are beneficial for most people. Adequate sleep allows the body to perform, function and stay healthy. Before you change your shampoo, consider changing your sleep patterns
