Sleep is one of the most studied and mysterious phenomena that a person encounters every day. We are all human and feel the need for sleep, the difference is only in the required amount. Someone feels rested already after 5 hours of rest, and for someone, even 10 hours is not enough. A sleep-deprived person becomes irritable, nervous, does not remember any information well, and in general may not behave adequately. But in addition to the nervous system, with a lack of sleep, the immune system, cardiovascular system and the whole body also suffer, a person becomes more prone to diseases.
Studies have confirmed that a person even ages faster if he does not get enough sleep! And in recent years, scientists have provided evidence that obesity, cancer, impotence and infertility are also associated with insomnia.
You especially need to get enough sleep when you are sick, because with a lack of sleep, stress hormones are produced and accumulate, reducing your immunity and making you inattentive and irritable.
According to experts, people should follow a certain routine every day. It is better to go to bed at about the same time, preferably no later than 10:00 p.m. But, unfortunately, most people do not follow this rule. Perhaps this is why we get sick so often and are prone to mental illnesses, including depression.
You should also not overeat before going to bed. If you feel like eating 2-3 hours before bedtime, have a snack of fruits, vegetables or yogurt. These foods will not affect your sleep. It is not recommended to drink strong tea or coffee, and even more so to eat any fatty food before going to bed, because then the digestive system will digest the food, and your brain will not be able to fully rest.
For better quality and sound sleep, experts do not advise sleeping in tight-fitting clothes. Cotton and linen are considered ideal materials for pajamas or nightgowns. It has also been proven that the less clothes a person wears at night, the better he sleeps. So wear as few clothes as possible before going to bed.
The key to a good sleep can be called an airy room, in which the temperature should not exceed 22-25 degrees Celsius. In addition, you must get out of bed immediately after the alarm clock, no matter how difficult it may seem, because five minutes will pass and it will definitely be even more difficult for you to do it. The thing is that the brain wakes up immediately, and then it is difficult for it to start its activity again.
Also, in order to sleep soundly at night, you should not have a nap during the day. If you feel very tired and sleepy, take Artvigil or Waklert. These drugs are indirect dopamine receptor agonists that prevent the reuptake of this type of neurotransmitter, increasing its presence in the brain. This increases your wakefulness, clarity of thinking, and concentration which allows you to tackle and accomplish your tasks much more easily, and sleep soundly at night.
