The Problem

Are you getting enough sleep?

Do you think about how many hours you’re sleeping and how much sleep you really need to keep healthy?

 

We all know the saying, “ There’s Not Enough Time In The Day” is a cliche. However, it’s a cliche that we live by and say often. When in reality, the effects of lack of sleep cannot be overlooked.

Using Instagram, I checked the ratio of sleep of 7 hours or more to sleep of 7 hours or less by questionnaire. The overwhelming majority of people said that they were sleeping for 7 hours or less, about 70 Occupied%.  When asked in detail, I was able to get the answer that it was about 5 to 7 hours of sleep.

The Effects

Not getting enough sleep can result in slow thoughts and reaction time. In the worse case, palpitations ( feelings or sensations that your heart is pounding or racing). This will definitely make your daily performance insufficient. We all have had unpleasant experiences, due to lack of sleep. Sleep deprivation can trigger all lifestyle-related diseases. Such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia, as well as ischemic diseases like myocardial infarction, angina and often impair mental health.

The Solution

Sleep is essential to recover and repair the brain and body, so it’s very important to get enough sleep in order to be fully charged. Physical and muscle fatigue can be recovered by resting without sleeping, but the brain can only be repaired and recovered by sleeping. Sufficient recovery of the brain is also related to good overall health. Look at the chart below.

The Effects

There are many benefits that comes with getting the right amount of sleep. Enough sleep can help you,  get sick less often, maintain a healthy weight, lower your risk for serious health problems, like heart disease and diabetes. It can also help reduce stress and improve your mood, think more clearly and do better work at school or work. You can also definitely get along better with other people.

Tips and Advice

  • Lower your phone’s display screen light, while in bed.
  • Try to limit the use of your cell phone to 30 minutes after entering the bed.
  •  Adjusting the temperature of the air conditioner, fan, and room. ( In summer, if the room temperature is 24 to 26 ° C and the humidity is 50% to 60%, good sleep can be maintained.  If the room temperature is higher than that, it will be difficult to fall asleep and it will be easier to wake up on the way.  In winter, the room temperature is 16 to 19 ° C and the humidity is 50 to 60%, which is said to be the most comfortable to sleep in.)
  • It is also effective to cool the brain by cooling the head. ( I sometimes sleep with a towel wrapped around a gel pack used for heating or cooling.)
  • Regarding electricity, if you want to sleep around 10 o’clock, the room has been darkened about an hour ago.  (I darken the room from 9 to 10 o’clock as much as possible, turn on a small orange light, before going to bed)

 

 

 

The human body has a rhythm and there are individual differences, keeping the time of waking up and sleeping constant is the first step toward good health. It’s important to find a way that suits your lifestyle and to prepare the environment, so that your brain and body can get enough rest.
