Secret of Getting Good Sleep and How Much We Need for a Healthy Body
Sleep is something we all need but few of us actually get. With life moving so fast, stress over finances, family or work can keep you up all night. Getting the proper hours of sleep each night is necessary for facing the world with best foot forward. Sleep helps us on the road for getting good fitness, good eating and good health.
What is a Healthy Sleep
The amount of sleep we all need varies from person to person. Experts have given us number of hour sleep we needs for our healthy body.
Infants – They need the most sleep, averaging about 16 hours a day.
Teenagers- They need about 9 hours of sleep.
Adults – They need about 7 to 9 hours of sleep to feel fully rested.
How to know that we are not Getting Healthy Sleep
If you're feeling drowsy during the day that means you are not getting enough quality sleep. Signs of sleep deprivation, or possibly a sleep disorder can be seen, when a person fall asleep within five minutes of lying down.
Tips for Getting Healthy Sleep
Please find some good tips to get a healthy night sleep:
1. Mentally Unwinding Before Going to bed
About a half hour before going to bed, enjoy a low-key activity such as reading or listening to soothing music.
2. Stop Worrying Before Going to bed
Avoid solving day’s problems from your bed. Before going to bed, make a list of problems for the following day.
3. Use Relaxation Techniques
To reduce muscular tension, try relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga, or even taking a warm bath.
4. Eat a High-crab snack
A light snack that is high in carbohydrates, such as crackers, pretzels, or a plain bagel, might help you relax. But be careful not to overeat; indigestion can interrupt sleep.
5. Drink Warm milk before going to Bed
There is scientific basis for this old-time remedy. Milk and other dairy foods contain tryptophan, a chemical that may promote sleep in some people.
6. Follow a Sleeping routine
Go to bed and get up at the same time every day even on a weekend. Creating this routine can help condition your mind and body to expect sleep at a regular time.
