This is why the PSSM reiterates the important elements of good sleep , which are ” Duration ” or the sufficiency of sleep to become well, rested and alert the following day , ” Continuity ” which means sleep time should be continuous and unbroken ; and ” Depth ” that sleep should be deep enough to be restorative or invigorating . Quality sleep , the PSM said , is very crucial to one’s good health and quality of life . It said that good quality and invigorating sleep is important for people’s day to day functioning , even in children for their overall wellness and development .
