Have you ever wondered how to wake up feeling energized and ready to take on the day?
Have you ever noticed your energy level plummet after only three hours of being awake?
Today you will receive all of the answers to your sleep-related questions.
But first, let’s address a straightforward question…
Why do we sleep?
Do you have a response to that? You’ll say something along the lines of “I sleep because I don’t want to die,” and you’ll be correct.
Generally speaking…
There are a few hypotheses that attempt to address this question, however, the explanation is not straightforward:
The truth lies somewhere in the middle of all of these theories.
1. Psychological recuperation – this is the point at which our brain begins to heal.
2. Physical recovery – as we sleep, our bodies repair and rebuild tissues (muscles).
3. Reorganize the memories and information we’ve gathered during the day.
4. We save energy because we use less energy while we sleep.
If you’re still undecided about getting those crucial 8 hours of sleep, consider the following…
What happens if we don’t sleep enough?
We must investigate the repercussions of sleep deprivation in order to answer this question.
According to a study, if you sleep 2-3 hours less than the recommended number of 8 hours, you will experience 24 percent greater hunger throughout the day.
In the long run, the increased appetite leads to obesity and an increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
Another major problem with sleep deprivation is that we do not recover as well as we should.
We’ll have a hard time attaining these increases even if our food and training routines are spot on.
Our productivity will also suffer as a result.
To put it another way, our bodies, minds, and relationships will all suffer as a result of this.
If that isn’t enough to persuade you to obtain those crucial 8 hours of sleep every night, we have one more thing to persuade you.
You will lose money if you sleep for a short period of time.
That’s correct.
When you don’t get enough sleep, it’s difficult to make good decisions.
You’re not paying attention, and you’re missing out on opportunities.
Missed opportunities result in financial loss.
Let’s go right into some recommendations that will help you once we’ve gone over all of the negative implications of poor sleeping patterns.
How do we actually get better sleep?
The truth is that a multitude of factors influence the quality of your sleep, some of which you may not even be aware of…
However, there are some basic realities about sleep that will get the job done if followed, so let’s have a look!
- Create a routine
It will make your life easier if you go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.
Your brain should be trained to “shut down” and “wake up” at specific times.
This teaches your body when it’s time to relax and when it’s time to move forward.
- Invest in a good mattress
We spend ⅓ of our lives sleeping.
With that being said, we shouldn’t compromise the good mattress because it has an important role in the quality of our sleep.
Bonus: The pillow is also a nice investment, so spend your money wisely for a comfortable one.
- Remember the 3 keywords
- Cold – 17-18 degrees is a perfect temperature for sleeping.
- Noise – It should be quiet in your room.
- Darkness – It must be fully dark when you sleep, so buying dark curtains is a smart idea.
- Take a hot bath before sleep
It helps in reducing body temperature, which is important for sleeping.
- Reduce caffeine consumption
Don’t drink caffeinated beverages after late afternoon because your sleep will suffer.
- Don’t look at your phone, laptop, TV before bed
The blue light is damaging your sleep, so reading a book is preferable.
