Only if I wasn't so dedicated
Last Night, I was awake half of the night to complete a task and I was so energetic that I was like " Yep, I can stay up whole night and it won't even make a difference if I slept or not" so, for a longtime I was awake and now when I woke up( yeah, I had decided to take a nap) I am super tired and feeling low, this is the point where I realize that those old childhood essays titled " Importance of sleep", " sleep well, stay well" etc do serve a purpose. So today we are going to talk about sleep and it's importance. Some of you might say like "what are you? A 6th grader". So, for those I'll say my dear fellows take it as a reminder to not ignore the importance of sleep, we don't talk about it but it sure is a big issue like any other big issue in the world. Ok, so, let's start our "old is gold journey"
The Importance of Sleep
While it may be tempting to stay up late to finish a project or watch just one more episode of a TV show, skimping on sleep can have serious consequences.
For starters, sleep is important for physical recovery. When we sleep, our bodies are able to repair and regenerate cells, tissues... Ok ok, I am gonna stop here, we aren't talking about anatomy or what's inside the human lol.
Apart from just physical recovery, during sleep, the brain is also able to consolidate memories and process information, which is essential for learning and problem-solving. Studies have shown that people who get enough sleep tend to perform better on tests and have better overall cognitive function, and they say " Nothing comes to sleepers other than a dream".
Anyway, In addition to its effects on physical and mental performance, sleep deprivation has been linked to a variety of health problems, including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. It can also weaken the immune system, making us more prone to illness( resulting in being forced to sleep).
But getting enough sleep can be a challenge, especially in today's fast-paced world. It's not uncommon for people to sacrifice sleep in favor of other activities, such as work or leisure. However, it's important to prioritize sleep and make sure you're getting enough rest each night.
Now you guys should be like,
"Sleep is important, Sleep is very important, Sleep is very very important.
We know that
but, how about sharing an acceptable duration for sleep and not be ever called as "lateNighter".
Yeah, I was getting to it,
So how much sleep is enough? The National Sleep Foundation recommends that adults aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night. This may vary based on individual needs and lifestyle factors, but it's a good starting point.
To improve your sleep habits, consider establishing a consistent bedtime routine. This can include activities such as reading, taking a warm bath. It's also important to create a sleep-friendly environment, which means keeping your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet, and avoiding screens before bedtime( I know what you are thinking: "YEAH SURE" )lol.
Anyway, nowadays, it's not uncommon for people to brag about how little sleep they need or how they can function on just a few hours of sleep and we are like "wow man, this guy is saving some serious hours of his life"; I know it feels like that but trust me this isn't the truth Sleep deprivation can have serious consequences, both in the short term and the long term( Don't worry I won't be wasting your time, counting and explaining each one).
In Conclusion, sleep is essential for physical and mental health, and it's important to prioritize getting enough rest each night. To this day you have been working on a lot of things, Try working on that as well.
Will see you next time, GoodLuck and have a good day
