Sleeping is one of the important cravings of our human body. It is the time when our body and mind heals itself. The total hours of our sleeping time are the time we provide our body for its healing and rest. Each body requires a specific time for healing, but there is a standard time for sound sleep. Science says, around 8 hours of good sleep is necessary for the body. If you’re leaving lousy, dizzy, out of focus even after sleeping right, it’s time to give your physician a visit.
Why is sleep necessary?
As mentioned earlier, sleeping is very important and here we will try to justify the statement.
- Lower risk of depression, anxiety, stress
- Helps you manage your weight.
- Regulates brain functioning.
- Regulates the release of hormones that conscript your thinking, appetite, mood, growth, etc.
- Helps you stay immune to diseases.
- Reduced rate of heart disease. Reduced possibilities of strokes and heart attacks.
Signs that you are not sleeping well
Our body is like a meter, it will start responding to you once you don’t sleep well. The signs needed to look for are:
- Fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Darkened under eye
- Dehydration of the body and resulting in dry skin.
- Getting irritated very easily
- Loss of judgment power
- Droopy corners at the mouth
- Productivity level comes to zero
- Loss of creativity
- Depression, anxiety, stress
According to various recent studies, doctors and scientists have found that if you don’t sleep properly, you will lack attention. Most of the day will pass without you knowing what actually you are trying to do or what your goals are. Lack of sleep constantly will push you to a position where you will start losing focus in your life. If you lose the zeal of achieving your aim in life, you will definitely feel meaningless and hence, depression.
The moment these signs are visible, better to look at your daily routine and reset it. Increase your time of sleep and enjoy a healthy life. We have mentioned a general sleep chart for guidance.
