Why sleeping less may not be so bad

It has always been known that sleep is an essential part of life, it is needed to feel good both inside and out. When they sleep for a few hours the body will begin to accumulate tension that will come out little by little in the form of health problems in the affected person. But is not really getting enough sleep as bad as they say?

From the mandatory nap times in preschool to the strict “lights out” hours at summer camp, This pointless task was the vital aspect of living a healthy life. Even the dog dozes soundly for hours on end.

There are people who become obsessed with getting enough rest as they reach adulthood. It seems that to be healthy you need to sleep, to have better skin and more motivation and energy… all the answers lie in getting enough sleep!

When sleepless nights appear

But it's not always possible to get a good night's sleep, nor is it always possible to have a good night's sleep. On many occasions, life will make it difficult for you to maintain a good quality of your sleep, for example when you are a father or mother, or when there are times of more work. Even personal problems can cause you to have a poorer quality of sleep for a time.

When you do not sleep well, it is quite normal to feel anxiety, since you may worry about being more tired than usual the next day or not performing enough in your personal or professional life. Tiredness can be your worst enemy.

A study that will surprise you

Un study Recent sheds some light on how our sleeping habits affect us. It revealed that people who experienced sleep interruptions fared much worse than those who got fewer hours of deep, quality sleep.

The researchers found that those who suffered multiple interruptions during the night had a 31% reduction in positive mood the next day (compared to those who slept fewer hours, they only had a 12% drop in mood) . What's more, Not only did the sleep disruption negatively affect mood and energy levels, it also lowered the levels of friendliness and sympathy the next day.

Even if you don't have children of your own, being a parent is a time-consuming job. Even after the children have fallen asleep, parents are faced with all the other responsibilities that were put aside during the day: bills, washing machines, cleaning, emails ... and the list goes on.

Do you work tirelessly late into the night to get it all done, or should you aim for the recommended seven or eight hours and go to bed at night? The decision is difficult and varies for everyone, but now you can be sure (literally) that a late bedtime that involves a few hours of deep sleep can really do you good the next day. Ideally, you should find the hours that best make you feel good.
