5 Benefits of a good night sleep

Even though we spend a third of our life sleeping, that doesn’t mean that we lose that part and we can’t get any benefits from it. That is entirely false, because if you manage to rest during your sleep, you will improve the results of your daily activities.

So here are some benefits that you can get by sleeping “by the book”:

1. The sleep is a primary need of your body so if don’t sleep you will die. That means that the most important benefit of sleeping is the advantage to be alive.

2. All the professional bodybuilders know that the muscular mass grows during the sleep, not when you are weight lifting. If you are used to party late and you don’t let your body relax, the entire workout routine will be in vane and you won’t spot any notable results.

3. The lack of sleep destabilizes the immunity system of your body making you more exposed to diseases. A nap during the day may also increase your health condition and it can even offer you an increased protection against heart diseases.

4. According to scientist, sleep is necessary because it helps the body to regenerate certain parts, especially the brain. After prolonged periods of deprivation of sleep, neurons are affected, which is manifested by behavior problems. Each stage of sleep is necessary for the regeneration of neurons in the cortex and to enhance the memory.

5. A recent study, published in Journal of the American Medical Association by Christopher King and his colleagues from the University of Chicago, had shown that the length of the sleep can influence your heart condition. The study results revealed that every additional hour of sleep reduce heart attack menace by 33 %.

In addition, a good night sleep can improve your social life, because it is easier to communicate when you feel and you look fresh and energized.

Therefore, I have only one thing left to say: ready, set, fall asleep !

Do you feel sleepy?

Every person needs to sleep in average 8 hours every day to ensure itself a full capacity functioning of its body. Have you ever wondered if this is the best way to spend a third of your life, or it is just a waste of precious time? Is it really needed to sleep so much, or so less, if you are a sleepy person? Why is the sleep such an important aspect of our life?

These are common question that we all have asked ourselves at least a few times in our life, especially when we were affected by the lack of sleep or by the abundance of it.

Regular people aren’t so preoccupied by the sleep’s interference in our life but they are many scientists that had tried to find an answer for these question and they are trying even nowadays.

The scientists have studied every aspect of the sleep and there even have been created organization like The American Sleep Medicine Foundation (ASMF) that offers the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) Physician Sleep Scientist Training Awards to stimulate researches in this domain. So you could say that sleep costs a lot of money.

I think at this point you are asking yourselves how important sleep is as a part of a human being life. The scientist had provided us this answer, after making a series of experiments.

Quantitative research, the study groups have shown the same things: subjects who slept eight hours a night have given yield, both physically and intellectually, very good, however, if those who slept only five hours, the ability data storage has fallen significantly after only one week of deprivation of sleep, as psychological tone and physical skills.

If you want to avoid this sort of problems you should know at least the recommended average sleep length depending on age:

• New-born 20 hours / day
• under 1 year: 14 hours / day
• Children under 6 years: 12 hours / day
• Child and adolescent (up to 18 years): 10 hours / day
• Young adult (18-24/25 years): 9 hours / day
• Adults 25-35 years: 8 hours / day
• Adults 35-45 years: 7 hours / day
• Adults 45 - 60 years: 8 hours / day
• Adults> 60 years: 9 hours / day, increasing to 1h/day every 5-10 years

It is your choice, you can apply this recommendations or you can sleep as much as you feel like, the important thing is to keep your body and mind prepared to face the daily issues.

Or should we go to sleep again?

Do we use water and it’s benefits the proper way ?

First of all i like to say that I never use to drink water, only juice and energy drinks and so on. I never drink water because it doesn’t have any taste for me, until I discovered that the water is one of the most important things, and it seems that we don’t really realize this:

What would happen if someone swoon in the office and on the street ? You will start to snap that person till he wake up ? Or you will just throw some water on his face ? I suppose you would not throw juice... the water is everywhere and we can’t notice this because we don’t really think about this.

When we bring our cars to carwash, they use water, and also when we take a bath or a shower we use water. Is true that in the antic period Cleopatra was using milk for bath, but nowadays we use water, and also the animals drink water, except a dog I had who liked to drink beer because it has a taste of food, but that is an exception, of course.

Everything is working with water, if you don’t believe me think of these things for example: the nature needs water to survive but it also needs sun, also fishes need water, we will never see a fish swimming or walking on ground, that would be a very good exception, but that will not happen, I am sure.

If there will be no water than nothing will exist, the nature will be dead, most animals will disappear, and the humans will start dyeing. We can save the nature by using the water we have without wasting it. I propose to save this planet and everything in it, by starting to care about the water around us, by taking advantage of all the benefits of drinking water:

• Drinking water enhances fat loss
• Combat ailments by drinking more water
• Drinking water can reduce hunger
• Look younger - drinking water hydrates your skin
• hydrotherapy is a calming remedy for stress and anxiety

Remember your body is 70% water, in other words, your body is a bag of water, that needs water to live, and that works better when is hydrated. A proper hydration is the first step in having a healthy life, and a fast healing body.

Remember a glass of water can save you from stress, can help you focus, and can help your mind stay in a healthy body. You can’t drink too much water. Doctors recomend two liters a day, but I say that three or four liters will make you live a better life.
