Some tips for healthy sleep

The lucky ones among us are those who put their heads on the pillow and sleep immediately, while those who suffer from insomnia fluctuate and try to sleep without success. It is difficult to control sleep but of course we can learn the approach that allows us to enjoy a healthy and calm sleep

Healthy and adequate sleep is essential to our health. The lack of sleep significantly affects our daily lives and our ability to perform our tasks.

We offer you some basic terms in this area:

Sleeping Courses:

The normal sleeping process consists of 6 cycles of sleep, each involving the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) and NREM (Non Rapid Eye Movement) phase. Each stage takes about 90 minutes.

NREM:

Is the stage that occurs, mainly, during the first half of the night. This stage consists of several sub-stages: the first two stages, which comprise about 40% of the sleep cycle, and sleep in them are superficially. The last two stages, which form about 20% of the sleep cycle, and sleep during them very deep.

REM:

This is the stage known as "dream sleep", which usually occurs during the second half of the night, and characterized by rapid movement of the eye and paralysis of the body, except the eyes and genitals. One of the explanations for our existence in a state of paralysis during this stage is that this paralysis prevents us from implementing the dream. This stage occupies between 20% and 25% of the sleep period.

Adjust the sleep process:

This is done through a complex system of materials that connects the different tracts of the brain. There are neurological pathways responsible for alertness, and others are responsible for the state of sleep. Each containing substances (neurological rates -
Neuromodulators) are connected and associated. There are neural connections between the two ways that work to coordinate and harmonize between sleep and wakefulness.

First insomnia:

This type of insomnia consists of sleeping difficulties of more than 30 minutes, waking up at night, early morning or insufficient sleep. These conditions last at least three days a week for at least one month.
