How much do you sleep? Do you sleep sufficiently?...
Sleep specialist Michael Stevenson, Ph.D. says that if you sleep half the time you are in bed, then your sleep efficiency is only 50%. The idea is to attain a rate of 90%.
If you go to bed at 10:00 pm with the idea of getting up at 6:00am, but you just can fall asleep until 2:00am,then Dr. Stevenson says don't go to bed until 2:00am. Rather than laying awake and sleepless for 4 hours, you will feel better if you don't go to bed till then.
After 7 days of sleeping well for those 4 hours, go to bed 15 minutes earlier the following week. And after successfully achieving this, keep adding another 15 minutes each week,but cut back whenever you are having trouble again.
"You sneak up on it a bit at a time" Dr. Stevenson says. "Almost immediately, people begin to feel better. Ironically, you are using sleep restriction as a weapon against insomnia.".
Music. Play soft, quiet, and calming music while you sleep. This helps you to relax and fall asleep faster. Avoid playing music such as Rock or Rap, because that music is too exciting for sleep.
what ???
no long sleep only 22 hrs a day
another helpful point for sleeping:
Like waking up, put an alarm before going to bed at least an hour before your usual doze off. spend the first 20mins on activities that you think will make you tired. next 20mins refreshing yourself over a shower or the like. And the last lap of your hour is just try to go to bed and get a sleep.
Read this in an aricle from Gulf times way back.
my sleep efficiency is like 100%!
i never stay awake in bed for more than 3-5 min.
if i rest my head anywhere, i sleep.
if there's no music playing in my car, i will sleep while driving! and it happened to me.
did i mention that i sleep no less than 8-10h daily?
lazy no?
Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. 14% of people know that.
Its not funny ...
Don't sleep too long. Shoot for 8-9 hours of sleep, because if you get too much or too little, you will be grouchy and tired the next day.
Try waiting until you get really tired before you go to sleep. You will sleep better and be well rested the next day.
