Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Seven ways to improve your sleep
Do you usually get a good night’s sleep? We are supposed to sleep about one-third of each day, between seven and nine hours. But around the world, many people today don’t sleep well or long enough because they are busy working or having fun and suffer from sleep impairment. One study found those who slept for only six hours a night for two weeks had as many naps as those who hadn’t slept a whole night.
Sleep is essential to your brain. When you sleep, your brain clears out accumulated debris and toxins. Also when you’re in deep sleep, your body repairs muscles and tissues. But you don’t have to sleep for eight hours straight. If you cannot sleep that long at a time, you could take a catnap for not longer than 15 minutes, or sleep in two shifts. If you have difficulty falling asleep, having a sleeping companion might help. Of course, a comfortable bed, a dark and noiseless room, and daytime exercises all help you sleep better, if not longer. The key to healthy sleep is not just how long you sleep but how well you sleep.
