Sleep is a miracle that helps build absolutely all processes in the body and, as a result, affects all areas of our lives. Today, eating right, getting physical activity, supplementing the diet with vitamins is the norm of life. But for some reason, sleep is still on the sidelines. And very in vain.

Sleep affects eating behavior, weight gain and the development of type 2 diabetes. Sleep helps the immune system to resist not only infections, but also oncology. It regulates blood pressure and prevents the development of depression. Sleep affects reproductive function in both men and women. The better we sleep, the longer we retain memory and youth - even the mechanisms of aging are inhibited. It is healthy sleep that we need like air. About why the regimen is important, and how to prepare for sleep. Most people need 7-8 hours of sleep. But there are also so-called "short-sleepers" who need 4-6 hours of sleep, and "long-sleepers" who need up to 10-11 hours. This norm can be understood by listening to your body. It is preferable that sleep be uninterrupted and occur in complete darkness. The body can adequately exist when the sleep rate is 70% for at least 2 months. We are able to adjust due to the fact that sleep becomes stronger and more effective. But if possible, it’s better to pour out your norm and not abuse its decrease.

If you didn’t manage to get enough sleep, you can use a short daytime sleep for 15-30 minutes, as Stirlitz did. Modern research has proven that this type of rest for the body can eliminate the negative effects of lack of sleep the night before. But it is also better not to abuse this method.

Knowing your rate, you can calculate the time you go to bed from the time you get up. If you have a standard working day for a resident of a big city with a rise at 06:00, then it is better to go to bed at 22:00.
