Restful Sleep
Asuncion C. Sagum
Can you sleep without thinking first the reproduction of modules of your learners and some pandemic scenarios? When was the last time you completed your nine hours of sleep? Did you sleep well last night? If you have negative answers then maybe you’re taking the power of sleep for granted.
Sometimes, people neglect the fact that sleep is a basic need, and it is beneficial. A restful night is more effective than vitamins and daily supplements. And so to remind us, “Why do we sleep anyway?” Well, scientists are not quite certain about that either, but one thing is for sure, sleep has a vital role in our health, memory and different fictions in our body.
Here’s a secret for every ladies, sleep is our new best buddy! A study in a University in Sweden says that insufficient sleep can slow your metabolism drastically, which means that you can put on weight. Then of course, get sufficient sleep! Not just for your figure, but also to prevent the presence of eye bags and pimples. Would you still go to late night parties after hearing this secret?
Sleep deprivation is also one of the leading causes of depression and anger management issues. So maybe if you’re cranky or feeling blue, you might want to get some shut eye. Unsurprisingly, survey says lack of sleep leads to tiredness, and tiredness lowers one’s problem-solving abilities, inventiveness and even in decision-making. So find the most comfortable spot in your bed, and wake up feeling refreshed and revived, like in those commercials where they open the windows and greet every one good morning!
Asides from proper diet, exercise and extreme training, athletes can also rely on sleep. Research says that getting some extra sleep can boost your athletic performance. Getting another three hours of sleep can give you more agility and react to things faster. And of course, the reason why parents should be strict on children’s bedtime, a study found in 2009 concluded that getting less than seven hours of sleep every day can suppress your immune system, and is more likely to catch colds and sicknesses. Still thinking of staying up all night? You might wake up with flu.
Do you have an upcoming exam? Here’s an addition to your study habit: Avoid staying up late. A study published in the Sleep Journal found that people who slept for more than eight hours a day score considerably higher than those of who had less than six hours of sleep. Naturally, sleep is essential for proper memory, it’s time to erase the myth that sleep deprivation is a technique in studying.
Cramming, deadlines, modules to be reproduced, your favorite latenight shows or movie marathons. Think about it, are these things really more important than getting your adequate amount of sleep every day?
