In the eventful life of a modern person, it is not always possible to allocate sufficient time for proper sleep. In addition, more and more often the "luminaries of science" through the media suggest that a lot of sleep is harmful and make you think that a person has been sleeping for half of his life. Is it all true?
Of course not. To sleep half of one's life, a person must spend twelve hours a day sleeping. Have you ever met such a person yourself? In the best case, it is a third (that is, 7-8 hours), but in fact it is even less, because there are always some urgent matters that require urgent execution. But is it wise to sacrifice sleep?
Sleep is the body's only opportunity to recover before a new day begins, and if a person is constantly “not getting enough sleep,” this instantly affects his performance. It is a mistake to think that you can get a good night's sleep on weekends. Saving on sleep all week and then sleeping will make you feel even worse.
Another common problem is the inability to fall asleep as soon as you go to bed. The origins of this problem are different. The main point is a genetic predisposition inherent in us by nature itself. Initially (before the advent of the Internet, remote work at home, pre-session panic), a person had to go to bed at sunset and get up at sunrise. Is it possible to adhere to such a regime in the modern rhythm of life? It is very difficult, almost impossible. But there are other tips to help normalize your sleep.
It is necessary to introduce as a rule daily sports (at least exercise before bedtime), because very often the body is simply not tired by the time we are about to go to bed. Improper nutrition also interferes with healthy sleep. It is impossible to eat before going to bed not only for fear of losing a figure, but primarily because if the body is forced to digest food during the night, it will not have the opportunity to fully recover its strength.
Try, if possible, to accustom yourself to the regime, so that with the onset of a certain time, the body itself is already tuned in to the fact that it is time to go to sleep. A glass of warm milk taken before bed has a positive relaxing effect.
Remember to ventilate the room. During warmer months, it is preferable to keep the window open all night. Choose the right mattress and pillow because the body needs to rest in comfort. And try not to overload your brain as night approaches. Exclude computer games, surfing the Internet, movies that affect the psyche. Better to read a dozen or two pages of a good book, and go to bed with a positive attitude.
