5 Ways To Combat Sleep Deprivation

As world scientists have proven, it is impossible to cope with lack of sleep over the weekend. In addition, we often postpone things for the weekend that we did not manage to do during the working week. And if the lack of night sleep within 24 hours can still be compensated for, then the weekly rate cannot. That is, it is practically impossible to make up for a missed dream. So dreams about getting a good sleep are still dreams. By the way, in this regard, man is the most resilient creature - animals, deprived of the prescribed number of hours of sleep, die. So, why is lack of sleep harmful and even dangerous for your body, and most importantly, how to deal with this seemingly insignificant problem?

What is the danger of lack of sleep

The most important and most unpleasant consequence is the deterioration of the general condition of the body, from the work of the brain to physical exhaustion. Among other things, chronic lack of sleep contributes to the appearance of causeless irritability, tearfulness, and can lead to deep depression. Gradually, you lose rational thinking, this leads to even more irritability. The matter can go up to the complete loss of an adequate reaction to what is happening around. The protective function of the body is weakened, a delayed reaction to external factors arises, which means that getting behind the wheel or taking on painstaking and responsible work can be life-threatening. Nervous disorders are just one side of the coin. In addition to a permanently bad mood, lack of adequate sleep threatens cardiovascular diseases,diabetes and even obesity. It has been proven by medicine: a person who sleeps less than four hours a day has a 74% higher risk of gaining weight than a person who is happily able to sleep for more than six hours. Moreover, chronic lack of sleep risks turning into full-fledged insomnia, and then treatment is definitely inevitable, and sleeping pills, as you know, are far from mankind's best friend.

Quite serious difficulties begin with falling asleep, and most importantly, the quality of sleep is disturbed, now you can only dream of sleeping peacefully all night.

What to do?

It turns out that the atmosphere you create around you before you go to sleep is of great importance in the fight against insomnia. There are several ways to help you organize your bedtime space:

Some time before you go to bed, slightly turn down the light, leave several nightlights on in the room, instead of a large chandelier (Europeans, by the way, generally avoid using bright lighting devices), making it less bright - this will tune the body to a calm state that will help you quickly and painlessly plunge into a healthy sleep. If you are a music lover, a soft, pleasant melody will help. The main thing is that there is no TV, especially with the evening news release, that certainly will not set you up for pleasant dreams.
Doctors have repeatedly advised to turn off all electrical appliances at night if possible, especially a computer, tablet, etc., while many of us sin by leaving our equipment in sleep mode, hoping that such a maneuver is no different from turning it off. In fact, the difference is enormous - even high-frequency sounds interfere with normal healthy sleep.
A healthy diet will also not interfere with your body, as, incidentally, in the daytime. So we recommend eating at least three hours before bedtime. If this possibility is excluded, try to lighten your late dinner as much as possible, in the end, healthy eating has not hurt anyone, moreover, with such a diet, after a couple of months you will notice significant improvements not only in sleep, but also in your figure.
Fresh air. Sophia Loren has repeatedly told fans in her interviews that for many years she has been sleeping in a room where the temperature does not exceed 13 degrees, which is what allows her to remain in such incredible shape. In fact, sleeping in a cool room is beneficial not only for your face, but also for the body as a whole, including the nervous system. Airing the room before going to bed or having a window open throughout the night will ultimately help you get a restful, peaceful sleep. The main thing is not to catch a cold.
The choice of bed linen, pillows, blankets and all other bedding is also important - they must be selected individually. The right choice guarantees a healthy sleep, and getting a charge of vivacity in the morning.
