There is a good question everyone asks: how many hours of sleep are needed to feel well? The answers may alter. As stated in the report people require from seven to nine hours to be in shape. But there are people that state that they feel exhausted and drained even after a nine-hour sleep. On the opposite we have individuals who may be quite content with a three-hour sleep. These variations are explained as difference in the genetic codes. To prove that the older the nation gets the less it sleeps, researchers held a simple experiment.
They compared the average length of sleep in the nineteenth century with the length in twentieth. The result showed that the length of sleep has been 20% reduced. Modern society now sleeps half an hour less than it used to do two hundred years ago. Technical innovations that are destined to make our lives easier make us stressed out and take time from us. There isn’t a living human that does not like sleeping. Rest is very good for the immune system and for the state of the body in general. There was a right rule in my family when I was a small boy. When someone was sound asleep, nobody has a right to wake him/her up, unless there was a fair reason to do so.
Seems quite feasible to plan rest and work, but daily difficulties surround us every minute. Parents and children wake up early to get to the kindergarten, to university to work and million other areas that may cause insomnia. There are some jobs that require their holders to be at work late at night and those poor people go there every day. Pupils usually stay up late with their current tasks assignments and prepare for upcoming tests.
For some people life starts after dark when clubs, pubs, casinos, cafes attract people that enjoy this type of atmosphere. Sometimes they begin their brand new day after having only a two-hour sleep or even having no sleep at all. Such mornings do not provide anything pleasant but headaches, exhaustion and aggression. This rhythm of life does A lot more harm instead of brings happiness. Lack of sleep also causes symptoms of sleep deprivation, says Canadian scientist. If the body demands rest, let the brain rest also.
Sound sleep is a present. Nightmares are even more terrible than being awake.
