How sleep works: The reasons why we can't live without it

If you are one of the millions of people who always feels tired, you can blame it on your alarm clock, the industrial revolution and a general lack of understanding about the bodily behaviour. Or, maybe it is because you sleep too long.
It turns out the human body has an internal clock that is so precise, there are many factors that can cause you to wake up tired.
One thing that is known for sure - if you are not hitting every sleep cycle, you are not getting a good night's rest.

If there are 24 hours a day, and our body needs at least 8 hours of sleep, it is imperative that people should only work 8 hours a day and not longer than that! Reserve the remaining 8 hours for our lives, family and friends.

My theory has always been that if you have to be woken up by an alarm clock you are not ready to get up. Every time I am woken up by my alarm clock I am exhausted all day. I sleep very well so I just go to bed in time that I will wake up before my alarm goes off.

@krishnaSagar69 2 жыл бұрын

when you go to sleep set a timer for 9hrs. So when you wake up, you can check the timer and see how much time you have slept. I do this but it takes time for you as you don't check the timer as soon as you wake up...

In the waking state, thoughts come 'automatically' in our minds. For example, i myself don't know what thought will come into my mind say after 10 minutes, 20 minutes etc. When thoughts come automatically to our mind, it 'seems' to us that we have consciouly 'thought' them.

Wonder about the affect of serotonin. This is made in virtually every plant and animal. It has massive benefits, and it may be directly connected to or helped made by our micro biome in the gut during sleep. It may be so important that it's the reason living things sleep.

I'm being completely honest, I've never had to use an alarm clock in my life. Ever. I'm in my thirties and whenever I need to wake up at a certain time, my mind just wakes me up. If I need to wake up at five am, my mind wakes me up. Or at 6:30 or 8. Just naturally, my brain wakes me up at the time I need to get up.

Weed blocks REM!!!! Try meditation for sleep and winding down without LED standard white bulbs in. Also workout 2-3x a week and make your diet pretty healthy. Weed will work but shouldn't be a long term crutch. Figure out why your not able to. If it's worry a quality therapist might help!

We git the urge and allow it usually. We can force our selves to stay awake 24hrs even though we usually sleep 8hr a night. So it's a bit of both. Although after a long time we loose control and our body makes us take "micro naps."
