Wednesday, February 6th, 2008I will present you 7 “facts” about sleep. Just 7 things that everybody should know and keep in mind. You will see, that knowlegde is important for a good quality sleep, because you can control your body and its sleep cycles. Many ebooks offer this knowledge, and therefore I will present you the best ones in my blog. No Sleep Aid necessary!
Fact 1: Sleep length does not determine how fresh” you are the next day
It is far more important to have ,,quality sleep”, which depends on many factors (you will learn them here); sleeping too long is even correlated with depressions, many depressed patients can reduce their medication if they are woken up earlier.
Fact 2: Getting up early is only discipline
Science has proven that there are clock”-genes that will determine your sleeping type. Some people have more difficulty to get up early, their genetic type has another so called circadian rythm”. But there are many tricks that help to stand up, even if your sleeping type is different.
Fact 3: Environment is important for quality sleep
Good sleep needs fresh air (oxygen supply), a very dark room (melatonin production in brain regulates your biological clock), no noises (k-komplexes show, that your sleep is interrupted by some noises) and of course a good bed and cushion. Other factors will follow in my blog.
Fact 4: Attitude and relaxation is important to fall asleep quickly
There are some tricks, to relax and calm your mind, because thoughts prevent your body from falling asleep quickly. The biggest help to sleep quickly an deep is offered by some programs I will present to you in my blog. These really work (for me they did enormous improvement)!
Fact 5: Prescription Sleep Aids do not always help
Most products sold over the counter are useless, the ones with prescription will produce a strong hangover the next day. You will feel weak and without energy, another reason to try out guides and programs, that provide knowledge to a better sleep. Save your money for sleep aids and invest it into knowledge (look through my blog to the best systems for deep sleep)
Fact 6: Sleep is important for homeostasis of the body
During sleep the body produces hormones, muscles are growing, protein synthesis is on its peak; learning processes occur in your brain and knowledge is saved”. You can see that good sleep is a must!
Fact 7: Short naps are very productive
In China it is normal to take a short nap of 30min at work, because productivity and happiness increase. Short naps can help you to stay fresh and powerful throughout the day, if you obey the rules. More details and explanations can be found in some ebooks online. Most important guideline is to never exceed 30min when taking a nap, else you will enter deeper sleep stages and wake up tired.
