5 things you need to know about sleep

You feel tired? Can you rest your head on the table and sleep immediately? Did you go to bed late last night, then couldn't sleep and wake up very early? That situation may continue tonight unless .

This is a common condition for Americans with sleep deprivation. They need to take sleeping pills or other measures to treat insomnia, grinding teeth, time zones, and limbs, snoring, sleepwalking and other phenomena.

The reality is quite different.

For example, insomnia is the most common sleep disorder, but these disruptive sleep disorders only impede 10% of our daily activities , according to the World Health Institute. In about half of people who get sick, the real underlying problem is due to illness (often mental) or the effects of certain substances such as coffee or pharmaceuticals.

Here are 5 new findings that can help you get better.

1. We sleep better than we think

For most people, lack of sleep sounds like a myth. We are not zombies. National non-profit sleep fund (receiving financial resources from the sleep aid industry, including pharmaceutical companies that produce sleeping pills) said the average US citizen sleeps 7 hours a night but so not enough. However, a study by the University of Maryland conducted at the beginning of the year showed that we often sleep 9 hours and that is appropriate. The study found that Americans today sleep as much as 40 years ago.

2. We sleep less when we get older

We will die without sleep. The data obtained is still sketchy, but the study suggests that it is the time when we restore biological processes that are vital as well as classify and align memory. Last year, the World Health Organization confirmed that night shift can lead to sleep disorders and is a possible cause of human cancer. The latest research suggests that we need less than this factor as we get older.

3. We can sleep like children (or Thomas Edison)

 

It is also an option to sleep a lot at night rather than a long sleep . The so-called multi-stage sleep is common in children, the elderly and other animals (Thomas Edison also sleeps in this way). For the rest of us, a good night's sleep is always healthier and more realistic, then take a nap during the day if necessary. EEG demonstrates that we sleep in two stages with two periods of reduced apple count - one at night and one at day. So perhaps it is also necessary to discuss the issue of building a day bedroom like a room for NASA Phoenix members.

4. Animals have many sleeping habits

3-finger sloth sleeping 9.6 hours at night. But newborn whales and killer whales can abstain from sleeping for the first month of their lives. However, the second form of adventure is not suitable for us. We will become irritable, incapable of concentrating as well as the ability to make decisions as soon as just one night's sleeplessness . This situation can lead to serious car accidents as well as in using machinery.

5. Familiar with tiredness and falling asleep on the table

The most important thing is to have a good sleep completely within our reach if we follow the common guidelines below:
• Create a habit of going to bed at a fixed night time.
• Allow enough time to sleep 7 hours.
• Within 4 to 6 hours before bedtime, you should avoid drinking coffee, eating spicy foods, indigestion, alcohol and discretionary medicines that make it difficult to sleep.
• Create a routine before bedtime so you can relax before bed.
• Turn off light or noise causing distraction.
• Do not watch television, read books or eat at bedtime. Sleep only one time or have sex at bedtime.
• Exercise regularly but do not practice before going to bed
