Myths about sleeping

in myth •  7 years ago  (edited)

Waking up all night will make you feel tired all day long.

It could be the natural cycles of our body. Many animals sleep like that, and there are many indications that our ancestors did the same

You need medication if you have trouble sleeping every night.

Sleeping pills are designed for short-term sleep problems, caused by stress from certain events, such as losing a job or following a very long flight, for example. People with longer or permanent sleep problems are better at performing behavioral and habitual therapies - highly recommended - such as improving your perception of sleep and learning better sleep habits, such as going to bed at the same time each night, avoiding watching TV and computer use before bed (azizah really neeh..hehehe), do not drink coffee and caffeinated foods at least six hours before bedtime, and other lifestyle changes, such as not looking for entertainment at night. In fact, in 2005, the National Institutes Health concluded that the type of therapy in the form of prescription-based drugs is only effective for short-term care for chronic insomnia. In many cases, sleeping pills can not even solve your sleep problems.
