My interest in getting to know more about sleep patterns and its importance arose only after my road accident two years ago.  Quality of sleep should not be ignored. It has been documented that well slept people give their best performances in the world. I had the best sleep in the world  🙂 I always thought until the unexpected happened. Sleep is the best ways to heal our bodies and fundamental to our health. Eight to seven hours is often quoted as the optimum, but the optimum sleeping time varies between people and at different times of life. 

Concentration and memory are noticeably affected with sleeplessness and people are more likely to be impulsive. Sleepiness also effects your work performance and also creates a risk while driving. Sleeplessness is associated with health disorders such a depression, dementia, heart diseases and anxiety. According to a survey average reported sleep time is 7 hours, although 12% sleep less than 5 ½ hours and 8% over 9 hours. Three-quarters (76%) who sleep less than 5 ½ hours report frequent daytime impairment or sleep-related symptoms. 

I had lost my sleep as one of my symptoms of concussion. I would wake up after  every two hours, which was annoying and painful. My doctors prescribed me medicines that I decided to discontinue because of their adverse effects and decided to heal naturally and practicing “Sleep Hygiene” . This wasn’t easy but it definitely convinced me that Sleep Hygiene – The Do’s and Dont’s of sleep if practiced with discipline bring situations on track as desired.

Many factors play a role in whether or not you get a good night’s sleep, from the conditions in your bedroom to your bedtime routine and even to what you did during the day.  Check with your sleep habits below and reflect on the changes you need to make for a sound sleep:
