Answer honestly: are you sleeping on time or taking care of your sleep? Everyone spends some of our 24 hours awake or asleep. The time, quality and other characteristics of our sleep-wake cycle vary from person to person. There are individual preferences, for example, in sleep or wake times, the so-called chronotypes. But have you ever heard of circadian rhythms? They are basically a sequence of physiological events that occur daily in our body (e.g.: cortisol secretion, low melatonin and temperature that rises when waking up). Sleep is essential for our health. Not only sleep itself, but sleep of adequate duration and quality. Have you ever noticed how much a bad night's sleep can negatively impact your day or week? That's right, bad sleep reduces the immune response to vaccination, impairs blood sugar control, disrupts appetite regulation, causes mood swings, cognitive impairment, risk of accidents, increases the risk of diseases, among other factors. And, of course, the life we live also influences sleep. Anxiety, stress, and problems we experience can, for example, interfere with our ability to sleep. Considering all of this and knowing that sleeping is also a behavior, tell us something... Are you sleeping on time, neglecting your sleep, not prioritizing it, and living with a series of consequences related to this? Or are you sleeping well, accessing the benefits of a rested and healthy body? Oh! An important fact is that some of this information is referenced in a booklet published by ABSONO. And you can look it up to better understand the subject. But only after listening to this episode, lol. Let's unravel this story? And we want to know: what about you?
