REM sleep is essential to health

(THP) During sleep the liver, kidneys, and other organs typically detoxify the accumulation of ingested, internally manufactured, and inhaled toxins. As heart rate slows and blood pressure drops during sleep, the pressure differential in the extra-cellular spaces allow the cells to expel toxins from the cytoplasm into the interstitial spaces where the lymph and venous systems pick them up and carry them to liver, kidneys and gut for elimination. When one dreams in what is called REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, the body is actually in a paralytic state, unable to move. A great deal of emotional adjustment and brain repair is carried out in REM sleep.

One of the most important aspects of proper performance (and one of the least practiced) is the concept of regular sleep patterns. Athletes are notorious for working their bodies extremely hard, and not getting the required sleep they need for proper performance. This is seen in a multitude of high school athletes who never make it through intercollegiate sports, and college athletes who do not continue after university sports. Dancers, and some professional athletes who have hectic travel schedules, who disregard the importance of sleep also limit their longevity in their sports.
