And like Cinderella, you should be asleep before midnight if you want to get a good night’s sleep.
Sleep is a big thing, but also a difficult one for many. It’s not just that some people can’t sleep, the quality of sleep is also a problem. Because if it’s waking up every hour, turning to one side, turning to the other, that’s not sleep, it’s torture.
Because even when you can’t sleep, it doesn’t mean you’re not sleepy. Equally, the opposite. That is, if it is a continuous state of insomnia, then the sleep you lose accumulates.
However, there are also those, the so-called owls, who fall asleep after midnight. It’s as if they have bet themselves to sleep, after the clock shows a single digit number again. And yet these people do feel rested and refreshed when they wake up.
After all, what is true?
So the main thing is to have a good quality of sleep. Certainly, eight hours is ideal. But still, even if you don’t manage to sleep eight hours, but you have a good sleep, there is no problem.
But what is a good night’s sleep?
It is beneficial sleep. It is the deep sleep that rests and rejuvenates you. So for some, this sleep comes before the clock strikes 12. And that’s because you follow your biological clock, that is, the circadian rhythm works better.
The circadian rhythm is the biological process that keeps the body stable. It is a daily cycle that coordinates a series of biochemical indicators, which are responsible for the smooth functioning of the body.
It is like a general regulator, which, although endogenous, is nevertheless influenced by external factors, such as in this case sleep.
According to the experts, the best for a beneficial sleep is to sleep before midnight. However, everyone has their own biological clock, so deviation from this time is considered okay. That is, if you can and you sleep after 12 and you feel good, then there is no reason to change anything.
However, if you are having trouble sleeping, then try going to bed earlier.
The ideal
The body in general is programmed so that, as soon as it gets dark, you start to feel sleepy. The circadian rhythm gives the signal and just like that, your eyelids start to feel heavy.
When this rhythm is the same on a daily basis, then your body is working properly. But when you don’t have a fixed schedule, then it gets out of order.
So, the basis for sleeping better is stability. Now if you can keep a normal bedtime, then your sleep quality will definitely improve.
Therefore, for a beneficial sleep it is important to be able to sleep at a fixed time and wake up at a fixed time. And also, it is very important when you fall asleep, to fall lightly, without thinking and stressing.
Also, don’t forget that when the clock goes past 12, the day actually changes as well.
