As the Dalai Lama himself said, “Sleep Is The Best Meditation.”
“Sleep is a quiescent period where the cells do a lot of repairs. Your hormones act differently when you’re asleep, and your immune system as well,” says Lisa Shives, MD, DABSM, founder of Northshore Sleep Medicine in Chicago. “If your immune system is out of whack, you can’t fight off illness — and I would venture to say that you can’t repair your cells very well, either.”
