Quality sleep is just as important as eating nutritious food and exercising regularly. While we sleep, our bodies release accumulated fatigue and prepare for the next day. If you don't get a good night's sleep or don't get enough sleep, if you don't sleep well, it can lead to fatigue buildup, decreased concentration, and various negative effects.
There are people who can sleep for just 4 to 5 hours???
Not many people can live properly by sleeping only 4 to 5 hours a day. Dr. Michael Scullin, associate professor of psychology and neuroscience at Baylor University in the United States, explained that for most people, "For optimal health and function, 7~8 hours of sleep is recommended." If sleeping less becomes a daily habit, the risk of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and memory problems increases. Some people may think it's okay to sleep less, They are likely unaware that sleep deprivation accumulates over time, which can negatively affect both physical and mental health. Dr. Sscalin said that, based on his experience, people who used to sleep little often see their well-being improve when they start sleeping 7~8 hours.
Napping can replenish the lack of sleep at night???
Taking a nap when you're sleep-deprived may temporarily improve your condition, but it doesn't completely replace the lack of sleep. Since you can't go through all four sleep cycles during a nap, the benefits of deep sleep can be missed. Also, if you have insomnia or sleep apnea, napping can actually have the opposite effect. It takes longer to fall asleep at night, which can disrupt your circadian rhythm. Therefore, nap occasionally, and to avoid disturbing your nighttime sleep, it's best to sleep for only about 30 minutes before 3 p.m.
