Tired of feeling tired?
In today's fast-paced world, many of us are chronically sleep-deprived. You're constantly pushing yourself, sacrificing sleep for work, social commitments, or late-night screen time (my secret bad habit...). But this comes at a cost.
Lack of sleep can significantly impact your cognitive function, mood, and overall health.
Solution - Embrace the Natural Rhythm:
Align with nature: Sleep from 10 pm to 6 am. This timeframe aligns with your body's natural circadian rhythm, promoting deeper, more restorative sleep.
Ditch afternoon stimulants: Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and sugar after lunch. These stimulants interfere with your sleep cycle and keep you feeling wired when it's time to wind down.
Dim the lights: Minimize exposure to bright lights, especially from screens, at least two hours before bed. This helps your brain produce melatonin, the sleep-regulating hormone.
Why It Matters:
Optimize physical repair: The first four hours of sleep are crucial for physical repair and restoration. This is when your body rebuilds muscles, strengthens your immune system, and releases essential hormones.
Enhance mental and emotional well-being: The last four hours of sleep are dedicated to psychological repair. This is when your brain processes emotions, consolidates memories, and recharges for the day ahead.
