Between your busy schedule, stress and annoyances, you feel exhausted. But when all everyday concerns accumulate, it is the quality of sleep that is affected. Here are any tips for eating your sleep and creating an environment conducive to falling asleep.
Our life is organized around a watch/sleep pace, called biological clock. It is thanks to this biological clock that sleep is organized during the night, allowing an essential energy saving for the preparation of our body for the following day: the heart rate decreases, we will breathe more slowly and the body temperature decreases. At the same time, the injured muscular tissues self-repair and the immune defenses are activated.
During deep sleep, the conditions necessary for our daily performance and our energy balance are set up. Also, acute or chronic sleep deprivation disrupts our physical performance (fatigue, immune disorders, weight gain, diabetes, etc.) but also psychic (irritability, anxiety, depression). Sleeping less than six hours by 24 hours is associated with an impairment of health and a recovery difficulty. According to the latest surveys, assets sleep on average 7 hours per night.
According to the National Institute for Sleep and Vigilance, the French sleep on average 7:05 a.m. on weekdays and 8:10 am on weekends. However, a quarter of French people lack sleep to the point of having to recover more than 1.5 hours of sleep per night on weekends. We also note that 73% of individuals wake up at least once a night, for an average of 30 minutes. Finally, the nights reduced, interspersed or of poor quality of the French resound, very logically, on their awakening during the day: 25% of them declare themselves sleepy and 6% even complain of being very sleepy. In addition, sleep evolves according to the periods of life. The newborn sleeps approximately 16 to 18 hours a day. The duration of sleep will then gradually decrease. At puberty, the need for sleep is on average 9 to 10 hours. The teenager has very variable sleep schedules according to his lifestyle. Overall, adolescents tend to delay their bedtime. With the third age, the total sleeping duration does not shorten or not shortened but sleep becomes above all lighter and more fragmented. In addition, the amount of sleep of the day increases, with more or less prolonged naps to the detriment of night sleep.
