Sleep is always a great medicine to improve many things related to your health. Understand how sleep works and why this activity is essential is one of the most important tasks we should be learning. We know that sleep offers us healthier lifestyle, which plays a crucial role in overall health.
In order to understand how sleep works, A Research has taken place in University of Surrey shows there is relation between sleep and the plasticity. This can be defined as the brain’s ability to reorganize. In other words, when we sleep we are more likely to generate brain waves, also known as delta waves if the sleep falls in the category of deep sleep, which help to understand how memories are restored.
It is becoming increasingly clear that sleep plays an important role in these adaptive changes. Our study tells us that a large proportion of these changes may occur during very short and repetitive brain waves called spindles. We know that during spindles, specific pathways are activated in dendrites, maybe allowing our memories to be reinforced during sleep. Source
During our sleep, there will be several stages and cycles. One of the stages of the sleep is called REM sleep or Rapid eye movement sleep. This plays a crucial role in improving brain development for young people such as lasting memories. Therefore, this period has to be not disturbed.
And the most critical type of sleep is deep sleep, which should be considered as requisite when we need to improve our leaning capabilities. There is a piece of evidence says that disturbed deep sleep can inhibit the efficiency to learn.
We have developed a method that lets us reduce the sleep depth in a certain part of the brain and therefore prove the causal connection between deep sleep and learning efficiency. Source
Thus we know that sleep is the most crucial thing in order to outperform any task and lead a healthy life. However, the key here is how we can get a good amount of quality sleep. Here are the few tips that can help you to acquire a sound sleep.
The most important one is temperature. We can observe that in winters we love to sleep longer than in summers. Because summers make us sweaty, and feel uncomfortable. A comfortable atmosphere with comfortable temperature allows you to get a good nighttime sleep. And don’t forget to switch off all the screens at least 30 minutes before your sleep. Instead, you can read a book which makes you happy by leaving all tensions that you had all day.
And almost the most important thing is to restrict your sleep schedules. We often gravitate to consider uneven seep time such as late nights during weekends, which effects during the following week sleep patterns.
In order to get a better sleep, try to avoid late night food that contains simple carbs and even sugar. Because these foods are high in glycemic index, which makes you super energetic for some time while boosting blood sugar.
Workout can help you the most when it comes to sound sleep but try to do it in mornings. It does help. And avoid coffee before ten hours to sleep. This might seem crazy, but caffeine can last 12 hours sometimes.
Omg i didn't sleep well i always think that it's just a waste of time but your post makes me wrong thanks for the informative post...
That why i love sleeping all the time :D ..
Informative post 5hough
Great that I read this post. I guess this is why I haven't got a sexy body yet despite working out on a regular basis. Perhaps, too much of a coffee guy also contributed to my lack of quality sleeps. May be, I'm just thinking that I have enough sleep, but my brain didn't rest well. Most of the time, I can wake up and tell what I dream of, probably the whole story. Lemme try to atleast follow this for the next few days see if it improve my workout time. Very much appreciate your sharing. Thanks again.
Very good post reminding us how important sleep is. The angelic picture just says it all and makes us all want to take a nap NOW!
