What is a good nights sleep?
One ‘good night’s sleep’ is not enough. A Good Nights Sleep is the culmination of night after night of undisturbed, uninterrupted sleep with a duration of around eight hours in a bed that provides adequate comfort, support and space. And what matters is how you feel in the morning. If you wake up full of renewed energy, you've had ‘a good night's sleep.’ (ADVICE. As we are all different you might be interested to know of your own needs) Every night our bodies produce melatonin to make us feel drowsy. This is fine for those whose work is carried out during the day. But for shift workers its different. They have to fight off the melatonin - and as a result their decision making powers may be affected.
There is no one formula for how much sleep is enough for you. Expecting all people to need the same amount of rest would be as absurd as expecting them to eat the same amount of food every day. Each of us seems to have a sleep "appetite" that is as much a part of our genetic programming as hair, height or skin tone. Normal sleep times range from five to ten hours; the average is 7 1/2. Only about 2% can get by with just five hours; as equally to another 2% that needs twice that amount. So how much sleep do you need? To work that out keep your wake-up time the same every morning and vary your bedtimes. Are you groggy after six hours of shut-eye? Does an extra hour give your more stamina? Does an extra two hours make any difference? Too much time in bed can make some people feel sluggish, so don't assume that more is better. Listen to your body's signals and adjust your sleep schedule to suit them. |
