When you have difficulty sleeping at night, worrying about what time you will eventually fall asleep and how many hours are left until you wake up in the morning can make the situation much more difficult.
Some people may stay in bed, twirl and wait in vain for sleep, while others may give up and spend some time on social media until they feel drowsy. But there is an unusual method of sleep that can lead to better sleep in just a quarter of an hour. And this method is called the “15 minute sleep rule”.
So what is the rule of 15 minutes of sleep?
A study from the University of Oxford, the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neuroscience and the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute published a guide to better nighttime sleep that included the “one-quarter rule”.
Surprisingly, the rule suggests that if you can not sleep you should stop trying for 15 minutes.
As the guide explains, “If you have trouble sleeping, you have probably noticed that you spend a lot of time in bed waking up @. This means that the bed can be associated with being anxious, frustrated or anxious about your sleep. After all, it is already well established that stress can have a negative impact on our sleep.
The guide suggests that the best thing to do in this situation is to simply “get out of bed.”
He says: “If you notice that you do not sleep within about 15 minutes of going to bed, try to get out of bed, go to another room, follow your routine until you feel drowsy and ready to go back to bed. ».
Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like BT aint for me either.
A key part of the 15 minute rule is not to watch the clock, as this will prevent you from relaxing properly. Instead, you should calculate when about 15 minutes have passed.
It is also recommended that you do not take your phone with you or watch TV. Instead, divert your thinking to good things in life, such as reading, meditation, or yoga.
