DHAKA: There is no feeling in the world that matches the one that you get once you are well-rested, especially after a good night's sleep.

Here are some health benefits of sleeping well, reports The Times of India.

Long life: Studies suggest that people, who sleep less than six hours at night, can risk a shorter life span, as opposed to people who sleep for six hours or more. Ideally, one would need to sleep for about eight hours a day.

Pain management: For those suffering from chronic pains, getting sleep may actually make it hurt less.

Radiant skin: While you sleep, the body produces a growth hormone, which is crucial in the production of collagen. This is essential for a glowing complexion.
