PASSAGE 1: Sleep and Human Health

Sleep is essential for maintaining physical and mental health. During sleep, the body repairs tissues, strengthens the immune system, and processes memories. Lack of sleep can reduce concentration, weaken immunity, and affect mood. Adults typically need 7–9 hours of sleep per night to function properly.
