Many of us think we can cut our sleeping pattern short and be efficient the next day but, it is not that healthy. So get that Bed Sheets and pillows ready because after this you might want to go to bed.
Scientists have concluded when staying awake for 24 hours is equal to having 0.10% alcohol in your blood and that is considered drunk by law. 5-Hour sleep nights also leave a person in that sleep-drunk phase. The trade-off here gets a bit tricky, as most people lose sleep because they’re out having drinks with friends or working late and alcohol in the bloodstream can’t be good when working.
On average a person today gets in 20% less sleep than people from a hundred years ago. Is all these new technology to be blamed? You are supposed to turn lights, televisions and computers off when going to bed. It is said to disturb your sleep patterns and make it more difficult to go to sleep. You might think watching one show will put you to sleep but it actually worsens it.
There are several apps available on the market to help you to go to bed and sleep effectively if you have a smartphone. These apps are so amazing it can play ambient sounds or even investigate and chart your sleeping patterns. Maybe all these technology can be used to our advantage.
If you want to take a nap during the day keep it short. No longer than 20 minutes. When you sleep longer than that you can actually disturb you sleeping cycle and do more harm than good. Set a regular bedtime and get into a routine. It is the best way to avoid accidents and unnecessary mistakes.
On that note did you know 1 out of 5 car accidents involve sleepiness and daylight savings can yield and extra hour of sleep and make the world’s difference. So next time when you considering to pull an all nighter, think again.
