Sleep is a significant physiological movement of the human body. It can not only restore energy and physical strength but also regulate hormone release and cardiovascular function.
Sleep deficiency and sleep problems can increase the risk of depression, anxiety, impulsivity and other psychological problems, and these problems can make bad sleep more difficult; the vicious circle formed by the two will continue to interfere and destroy the body's normal immunity. Good sleep is the foundation of health, and it is also the guarantee of the best rest and high productivity.
Sleep can promote physical and energy recovery; protect the brain, improve memory; enhance body resistance, regulate emotions; promote children's physical growth and brain function development; accelerate skin regeneration, prevent ageing, etc. The sleep time required by different ages is different. In general, newborns need up to 16-20 hours of sleep, 9-12 hours for infants, 9-10 hours for children, 7-8 hours for adults, and 5 hours for the elderly.
Go to bed and wake up simultaneously consistently. Doing so can set the internal biological clock of the body, thereby optimizing the quality of sleep.
Develop good nightlife habits. Calmness and relaxation are important parts of preparing for bed. Stay away from alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes. These stimulants can disrupt sleep, especially when used before going to bed.
Don't eat too much before going to bed. Eating will promote metabolism, make it more difficult for you to fall asleep, and affect sleep quality. However, don't go to bed hungry. When you are tired then go to bed only. Without sleep, you will toss and turn and feel frustrated because you can't fall asleep.
