Sleeping

Anita Štenclová

Do you remember what your parents were telling you about sleeping? Don't worry if you forgot, because on this page you will learn many interesting things about sleeping. Are you asking, why I´m gonna talk about sleeping? It's easy, sleeping is very important for our health, so on this page I would like to help you sleep better.

Sleeping is a state of tranquility with minimal physical activity in a typical position at a suitable location with limited perception of the surrounding environment. The mental activity of the brain is completely different from the waking state. But our brain is still active and that's why we have dreams. The length of sleep is 7-8 hours. When you sleep longer or shorter it can have negative effects.

Today many people have a problem with sleeping and I think it's, because they have a lot of work and don't sleep regularly, so they are overworked and tired, because they don't sleep well at night. I hope, that these people remember parents words: " Go to bed early and early bird catches the worm"

Now I have here some advice for better sleeping:

• sleep regularly and get up regularly

• don't sleep during the day

• physical activity during the day, not much exercising before bedtime

• use the bed only for sleeping

• quiet environment if it is possible

• sleep in a ventilated room tempered to 17 - 21 ° C

• do not take caffeine and alcohol regularly at bedtime

• do not overeat before bedtime

• If you do not fall asleep in 30 min, get up and do uninteresting and monotonous work

I hope that my advice helps you to sleep better and if you would like to get more advice for your health, let's go to the next pages!
