Sleep is the secret of health

 


Seeing when you sleep is not a dream; We have heard the inspiring quote "A true dream is to pursue success and never let it sleep". Taking these words literally instead of going to bed can cause more harm than good.

 

Our body needs about seven to eight hours of sleep every day. Therefore, we spend more time sleeping than any other process in our life. Lack of sleep leads to restlessness throughout the day. The health of the body and mind is determined by the quality of our sleep.

 

Scientists divide sleep into deep sleep and dream sleep. Most of this is deep sleep. During this time, the muscles of the body breathe; breathing becomes deep, fast; A tired body and a brain that has been working all day can be refreshed during deep sleep. Different from this is dream sleep. Brain activity increases during this period; The body becomes numb; Changes in breathing and heart rate. Four or five periods of deep sleep and dream sleep occur in one night. Many things left behind when a lot of information is processed form "cobwebs" in brain cells. The brain uses sleep to clear this up. Therefore, if unnecessary things are removed, the brain's ability to make decisions increases. It is the background to the miracle of suddenly getting answers to the questions that bother us after a good night's sleep. If the amount of sleep decreases for some reason, the brain does not have time to eliminate unnecessary information; His recovery was incomplete. This slows down brain activity; Information stored in memory does not appear at the right time. The scene becomes the story of Karna from the Mahabharata. That's why it's not good to sleep the night before an important task like an exam.

 

Many physical and psychological factors can cause changes in sleep patterns. People with respiratory problems experience more pressure to breathe when they sleep on their side. Chronic night workers have alternating sleep patterns. Party people who party all night and sleep only a few hours a day are more likely to suffer from chronic health problems. Getting too busy with work or hobbies and cutting back on sleep means poor sleep. Despite these external causes, there are people who suffer from insomnia who cannot sleep despite their efforts. Instead of using sleeping pills, these people need to change their lifestyle and diet. The habit of going to bed and waking up at a set time is good. This procedure must be followed carefully without changing it for any reason. Bedtime should not be changed for the weekend or under 'cheat-day'. Spending time in bright light is the enemy of sleep. Therefore, reduce the light one hour before you go to bed and adjust the vision so that it does not decrease. Avoid light sources like television, computer, mobile screen before going to bed. Instead, it is best to read a meditation book before going to bed. A normal meal at bedtime is good. Food, alcohol, smoking, coffee-tea should be avoided at night. Every day, time should be set aside for activities such as exercise, walking, gardening as much as the body can tolerate. The room should be quiet, as quiet as possible and dimly lit. If these types of efforts do not work, before going to bed, take a warm bath and meditate to reduce insomnia. The habit of sleeping during the day is also the main reason for not sleeping well at night. People with insomnia should be involved in activities during the day as much as possible. Then the chances of sleeping at night will increase.

 

Scientists have summarized lifestyle changes as part of insomnia treatment: \'Make your day brighter; Make your night dark; Walk or cycle to work for some sun; Dim the lights on your electronic devices as evening approaches. For thousands of years, our Anuchana tradition has been "Arise at the Brahmi Muhurta, honor the rising sun, work faithfully throughout the day, and go to bed at night and sleep for a long time”.

 

Lifestyle treatments for insomnia are evidence that benefits do not change over time. Such as
