07.03.2024 06:50
Chronic lack of sleep is a serious problem for many people. Bad habits, mobile phones and stress lead to the fact that a person simply cannot get enough sleep. Therefore, it is worth figuring out when you need to go to bed to ensure you get enough sleep.
Knowing your sleep cycle
Each person has their own unique sleep cycle, which depends on their biological rhythm. This cycle includes REM and NREM sleep phases.
Therefore, first of all, everyone should understand what sleep cycle is right for them. You can even contact specialists to determine it.
Biological signals cannot be ignored
The body constantly sends signals indicating fatigue and the need for rest.
Most people just react to them and then wonder why they can't sleep.
How much time should a person sleep?
According to research, an adult needs 6 to 7 hours of sleep to fully recover.
Sleeping longer can lead to fatigue and restlessness. And if you sleep less, your body simply won’t receive the necessary amount of energy.
Rational component
Of course, it is also important to simply calculate the time for sleep.
A simple example: if you need to get up at 6 am, it makes sense to go to bed at 11:30 pm, putting aside all mobile devices.
The time it takes to fall asleep should also be taken into account. To fully restore your strength, you need at least 6 hours of sleep, and the time it takes to fall asleep should definitely not be included here.
