All You Need To Know About Sleeping by Scamfender: 12:12am On Nov 04, 2014 |
Sleep is a naturally re-occurring state characterized by reduced or absent consciousness, and inactivity of nearly all voluntary muscles. I wouldn’t want to over bore us with the types of sleep and its various actions, after all we are not writing an exam on this and this article is for the general public. So here we will be focusing on the beautiful facts about sleep, analyzing the importance and benefits of sleeping, and the effects of sleep deprivation. Here is a list of the facts; FACTS 1 all animals sleep 2 even blind animal and blind people sleep, so is not that dependent on the eye, 3 the more an animal sleeps the lesser its body mass and consequently weight, 4 aquatic animals like fishes sleep while moving, 5 your brain is continuously working while sleeping and it also processes our dreams, 6 do you know it can even help you make decisions in serious matters. When you sleep about something bothering you, you wake up and feel somehow light burden because the brain has enough and undisturbed time to process and work on the matter, 7 getting enough sleep aids brain development, 8 you can never cheat or deprive yourself of sleeping; this only leads to sleep debt which you will have to pay at a later date, 9 do you know that the most successful people in the world have a good record of sleeping before becoming successful, 10 you grow taller anytime you wake up from bed. This is because the discs in your body are more spaced but when you wake they get compressed back by the force of gravity, 11 if you want to wake up in the midnight, do sleep in an uncomfortable manner or by putting one of your leg on the wall, 12 we spend one third of our lives doing it. Despite the importance and emphasis that as always been laid on exercise and other body activities, sleeping still remains one of the most vital and indispensable features and I call it the “miraculous exercise”. Apart from the obligatory condition that man must do it, it also plays a great beneficial role which I summarize below - BENEFITS 1 it conserves our energy and aids your body relaxation, 2 it helps restore our body and aids rapid healing, repair tissues and cells formation, 3 it increases white blood cell formation which aids our immune system, 4 it restores and refreshes the brain by combating the accumulation of free radicals, 5 it helps growth hormone formation. You need to sleep well if you want to grow well, 6 it boosts your mood and banishes under eye circle and pimples which often result due to lack of sleep, 7 it helps to keep our heart healthy by stabilizing blood pressure and cholesterol {check your dico.}, 8 it reduces stress; am sure we all know this, 9 it controls your body weight and reduces the risk of diabetes because the more you sleep the more glucose are broken down in your system, Note: make sure you stretch your body each time you wakeup to restore disc, body shape and fixing of the bones back to normal especially when you sleep in a bad condition so as to prevent carrying a wrong shape. EFFECTS OF NOT GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP Decreased alertness, tiredness, moodiness, headache, loss of balance and coordination, memory lapses, difficulty concentrating, blurred vision, hallucination, paranoia, and heart failure. So in conclusion, do sleep for at least 8 hours daily (quick nap included). If you know that you will be having a till dawn party or “Till Day Break Reading”, get enough sleep from morning through afternoon of that same day so as to prevent sleep debt and other sleep related issues. You also need to sleep in other to think and study well when you wake up. And also if you are confronted with a difficult problem, just go and sleep am sure when you wake up you would have gotten the right solution.
