I've been doing lots of research on the human biological clock, the effects of sleep loss that can lead to diabetes, obesity and other maladies. The stress of our modern life and our inability to follow the natural, God-programmed rhythms in our life may be our ultimate downfall.
I was amazed to see that just sleeping, ADEQUATELY, not too much, not too little, has a profound effect on your hormonal system, hence your immune system which determines your overall health and ability to cope.
I hope you will enjoy reading some of these links that I found in my research.
zu Ihrer Gesundheit~

Please bear in mind also that the timing of your sleep--for example from 1 a.m. to 7 a.m. versus 9 p.m. to 3 a.m.--will affect its quality. The more hours that you can sleep before midnight and in synch with the sun, the better off you will be.

Vitamin D = Cod Liver Oil in Winter, Adequate sun exposure WITHOUT SUNSCREEN, in summer.
