Did you sleep well? What does it take to sleep well? Why is it now said on the Internet that sleeping 8 hours does not necessarily mean sleeping well?
First of all, we have a big misunderstanding of "sleeping well", most people think that sleeping for a certain amount of time means sleeping well, and we adults generally need about 8 hours of sleep a day.
We can see that newborns need to sleep about 21 hours a day, and babies from 1 to 3 months need to sleep about 16 hours a day. Babies between 4 and 6 months sleep for about 14 hours. Children between 7 months and 2 years old sleep about 13 hours a day. Children between the ages of 2 and 7 usually sleep for about 11 hours. Children between the ages of 7 and 15 usually sleep for about 9 hours. Young or middle-aged people aged 30-50 may sleep 7-8 hours a day.
From the above data, it can be seen that the sleep time we need from childhood to adulthood is constantly decreasing, and over time, our sleep time at different ages has been decreasing.
It can be seen that it is now accepted in society to sleep at least 8 hours a day, which is very correct in some aspects. However, we all overlook the "substantial quality of sleep".
If a person sleeps frequently and is often awakened by frightened nightmares, and wakes up many times throughout his sleep, then it is obvious that such sleep is not good, even if he sleeps for 8 hours. Because waking up once means going back to sleep once, this is equivalent to invalid sleep, in other words, if we are interrupted while sleeping, does it feel like we have not slept in front of us.
There is also the fact that it is difficult for a person to fall asleep, which is also a manifestation of poor sleep. If you lie down early, but lie down for a long time before falling asleep, and then you sleep until the next day for eight hours, then this is also not meeting the conditions for "good sleep". Let's think about whether you feel restless when you lie in bed for a long time to fall asleep. Generally speaking, when encountering this situation, there is too much backlog in the heart, it is difficult to solve the problems on your own, and it is naturally difficult to fall asleep when there are more things in the mind.
So, do you still feel that your sleep quality is good?
So, how do we maintain quality sleep? Obviously, according to the above explanation, in order to have a good night's sleep we must do the following:
First, be sure to get enough sleep. Adults must have 8 hours of sleep a day, and children need more sleep time, because this can promote the child's growth and physical development.
Second, we should also pay more attention to diet, such as not refreshing foods such as coffee before going to bed, usually not picky eaters, eat more nutritious food, and mix it in a balanced manner.
Third, we need to pay attention not only to the body, but also to our minds. We usually have to take the initiative to excrete when we are depressed, so as not to have too much backlog, serious can cause depression, we must keep a calm mood before going to bed, don't think so much anymore, sleep peacefully.
Only by ensuring a good night's sleep can we have a better mental state on the next day and better welcome a new day!
Well, that's what we want to say in this issue, did you guys sleep well? Get quality sleep!
