I invite you to today's free online tutorial.

In order to gain energy for a new day, your body needs rest. This rest is just a dream, which gives you time for proper regeneration. That's why you shouldn't forget how important a role sleep plays in your life.

It influences concentration, mood and mood. An adult's sleep requirement is 8 hours per day and the average length of sleep is 7 to 9 hours. However, it is important that the sleep is uninterrupted, so that the next phases of sleep can follow each other. They allow for regeneration and even the removal of tension from the most stressed areas of the spine. 

Recreation time is an individual matter, so you have to set it yourself. It depends on preferences, daily cycle and biological clock. Sleep has a positive impact on the psyche, among other things it increases the feeling of satisfaction, reduces mental tension, helps to relieve stress. During sleep, processes such as memory fixation or repair of damaged cells take place in our body. Then, for example, growth hormone is secreted.

However, in order for all these processes to happen in our body, it takes time. That's why long, uninterrupted sleep is so important. This is due to the fact that the body starts to rest only after 1-2 hours of sleep. The most intensive regeneration process takes place between 22:00 and 1:00.

Sleep hygiene

Very important is the so-called sleep hygiene, i.e. pre-sleep activities, which will facilitate proper rest. You should set a fixed time of rest, not to sleep during the day, and even more so in places not intended for this purpose (armchairs, vehicles), make the bed associated only with sleep (you should not lie down during the day, eat in bed or watch TV there), the last meal eat 2 hours before bedtime. 

Sleep can be helped by relaxing music, the right temperature in the bedroom (18-20 degrees Celsius), a bath lasting 15-20 minutes, and even a properly selected pyjamas (loose, made of natural materials that absorb sweat). If we fail to fall asleep, we should not be forced to do so. You can then go out, read or do another relaxing activity and only go to bed when you feel tired.

However, if you are unable to fall asleep or sleep despite following the above recommendations, it is very possible that you are struggling with insomnia.

There are two types of insomnia: periodic and chronic insomnia

Periodic insomnia is usually caused by inappropriate lifestyle, stress, frequent travel (changes of time zones), but also inadequate sleep hygiene.

Another natural way to treat insomnia is to use herbs. Many people avoid this method, but unnecessarily. It is healthier than sleeping pills and moreover, it is effective. It also has no side effects and the price is affordable.
