Feedback:
Sleep is believed to play an important role in reducing fatigue, stabilizing mood, and improving blood flow to the brain, among other things. Sleep increases, not reduces, protein synthesis. Sleep does not eliminate accumulation of fat in a person's body. Regular exercise or physical activity reduces fat accumulation. Sleep increases pain tolerance in a person, whereas sleep deprivation decreases pain tolerance.
