Adequate sleep is essential for the repair and regeneration of tissues. During sleep, the body undergoes various restorative processes, including the release of growth hormone, which is crucial for tissue growth and repair. Lack of sleep can lead to increased levels of stress hormones like cortisol, which can cause tissue inflammation and impair immune function. Histological studies have shown that chronic sleep deprivation can lead to increased cellular apoptosis and reduced tissue regeneration, affecting overall health and longevity.
