Surveys like this one by the Statista Institute show time and again that we actually know how important a good night's sleep is. A good night's sleep influences our mood and our performance throughout the day. 38% of all respondents are still tired when they wake up, only one in five feels really rested in the morning. The list of reasons for poor sleep is long: stress at work or at home, noise pollution, distractions or electronic devices - all of these can literally rob us of our sleep. #sleep #fallasleepfaster #lack of sleep Studies cited: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30575... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33411... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34613...

Good sleep only works in really dark rooms. Light ensures that our body produces serotonin and that wakes us up. In the evening, however, we need melatonin because the hormone signals to the body that it is time to sleep. Fall asleep faster Tip #2: Technology must get out of the bedroom! Unnecessary light sources also include all technical devices. The body cannot distinguish whether the light source is artificial or natural, which is why televisions, bright lamps or even cell phones are triggers that can keep us awake. A cell phone on the bedside table in particular is the worst thing you can do to your sleep. Fall asleep faster Tip No. 3: First calm down! This tip can be summarised under the general term sleep hygiene. This includes banishing anything that triggers bad thoughts or emotions from the bedroom. The desk for the home office should definitely not be in the bedroom, and work-related things should be strictly removed from the bedroom. Fall asleep faster Tip No. 4: Fresh air Open the windows before going to bed. A few minutes of ventilation will lower the temperature in the room and let in oxygen-rich air. Perfect for sleep, because sleep works best at 16-18°. And because fresh air makes you tired, it also gives us the right level of heaviness for bed. Fall asleep faster Tip No. 5: Diet affects your sleep I don't know how many videos I've said in that diet has an incredibly big influence on our lives. Diet also plays a big role in how we sleep. The worst idea is to eat a carbohydrate-rich and unhealthy meal shortly before going to sleep. The digestive system then runs at full speed and our body has no interest in going into rest mode. You can learn to sleep well! You see, good sleep can be learned, or at least strongly influenced. If you have recognized yourself in some of the negative actions, I can only encourage you to try out my tips for a few weeks. We cannot change habits that have been in place for years from one day to the next, so it can take a while for the internal clock to get used to new, fixed sleep times. ▬ About this channel ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ With “Video Visit Dr. Weigl” you have found the current, medical-scientific channel that describes topics relating to pain, #medicine and #health in an understandable way but based on facts, guidelines and studies. ▬ Even more videos ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Always not getting enough sleep?
