What is the best time to sleep? How long is the sleep time? A popular science, may wish to have a look
From birth to death, a person is but a few decades. According to the average life expectancy in China, our average life expectancy is about 76 years old. If it exceeds 76 years old, it is already considered to be in the ranks of longevity.
In these short decades, 1/3 of everyone's life is actually spent on sleep, and the average sleep time is about 6-10 hours per day.
However, in recent years, due to the accelerated social rhythm, the sudden increase of work pressure, and the influence of soaring prices and the rapid development of electronic products, more and more people have begun to suffer from insomnia and sleep late.
Sometimes going to bed late is a forced overtime, and sometimes it is to sacrifice sleep for entertainment. We always think that we are still young and there is no need to let insomnia be wasted on sleep.
When the biological clock is completely disrupted, health problems will follow, including endocrine disorders, decreased immune function, memory and concentration decline , and so on. Because of this, staying up late is regarded as the number one vice in life.
So the question is, since staying up late is not good for the body, what time is the most scientific way to go to bed, and how long should a person sleep?
1. What time to sleep science
From a clinical point of view, the best time for the human body to fall asleep is actually between 8 pm and 12 pm . The reason why there is no fixed time node is that each person’s living environment, work and study rules are different , and the time they need to get up is different .
The specific sleep time should be calculated from the wake-up time, and the interval is about 6-8 hours, which is a normal state . However, some experts believe that adults should fall asleep before 11 o'clock in the middle of the night , because during this time period, the body will experience a sleepy period, and the exhaustion of various organs has reached its peak, making it easier to fall asleep;
2. Specific sleep time
Affected by the over-emphasis on 6-8 hours of sleep by health experts, many people mistakenly believe that only when they sleep enough during this period of time can their body be considered fully rested. But in fact, people of different ages have different specific needs for sleep time .
The optimal sleep time for adults is 6-8 hours , but the elderly sleep time is relatively short , and the recommended sleep time for minors is more. Therefore, there are no specific requirements for sleep time. As long as you feel energetic and refreshed after waking up, this is the best sleep time;
3. Don’t ignore the rules
If you occasionally stay up late, occasionally go to bed late or go to bed early, this will disrupt the sleep rhythm and eventually form habitual insomnia and a vicious circle .
Therefore, after knowing what time to sleep and how long you should sleep, you can make a regular and own sleep plan according to your actual situation . It is best not to break the sleep pattern.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that being young is never the capital of wasting time on your own, staying up late and having a healthy crematorium are never empty words. The negative effects of staying up late on the body have been scientifically proven.
Therefore, everyone should develop good sleep patterns and habits in daily life. If you have to stay up late, you should also take a proper nap the next day to relieve fatigue, so as not to cause unnecessary damage to the body.
