When I was a medical student and resident, sleep was considered optional. Delivering 500 babies and working in the emergency department for overnight shifts fried my nervous system. I learned firsthand the dangers of sleep deprivation.

Sleep, while it may seem superfluous, is essential to our health and longevity. The notion of “I will sleep when I am dead” may cause you an early death.

It affects every aspect of our health, including our metabolism, weight, mood, and cognitive function.

Over the last 100 years, the average sleep has declined by an hour or two. Seventy million Americans suffer from sleep problems. Lack of sleep not only impairs our ability to concentrate and causes trouble learning, decreased attention to detail, and increased risk of motor vehicle accidents; research suggests that regularly sleeping for less than 7 hours a night has negative effects on the cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, and nervous systems.

Side effects of sleep deprivation can include obesity, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, dementia, alcohol abuse, stroke, and an increased risk of developing some types of cancer.

Sleep is essential for healing and repair and cellular cleanup and longevity. A newly discovered brain-cleaning system called the glymphatic system is essentially the lymph system of the brain and is necessary for cleaning up all the metabolic waste that accumulates every day. Your muscles, organs, and brain need to repair each day.

Your hormones and circadian rhythms must be in balance for health and longevity, and sleep is critical to maintaining that balance.

Within the hip there are several small lubricated sacs that act as cushions. These are called bursae and they help reduce friction and pressure between bones, tendons and muscles moving across each other.

When injury or overuse occurs to the hip one of these bursa can then become inflamed resulting in tremendous pain and discomfort. This condition is known as hip bursitis.
