In the conditions of modern rhythm quality of sleep is becoming one of the key components of health.
URA-Inform reports this with reference to the telegram channel “Doctor in the Pocket”.
According to research, lack of sleep increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by 12% and contributes to the development of obesity. Chronic lack of sleep negatively affects cognitive functions, reduces immunity and increases the likelihood of depressive states. To avoid these consequences, experts recommend:
Keep a sleep schedule
Go to bed and wake up at the same time, even on weekends. Falling asleep before 10 pm ensures the deepest and most restorative sleep. A consistent routine helps the body regulate its internal biological clock, which has a positive effect on overall well-being.
Limit the use of gadgets
2-3 hours before bed, give up phones, tablets and computers. If this is not possible, turn on the warm light function to reduce the impact of blue radiation on the body. This helps reduce eye strain and promotes faster falling asleep.
Create a comfortable environment
Ensure silence, darkness and a comfortable temperature in the bedroom. Use sleep masks and earplugs if necessary. Regularly airing the room and choosing a comfortable mattress also play an important role.
Also, avoid caffeine and alcohol a few hours before bed, as well as heavy foods. Daily sleep of 7-9 hours helps strengthen the immune system, improve memory and increase productivity.
