Sleep And Healthy Living

The body's charging station is sleep...

In a healthy life; Sleep, which is as important as nutrition, exercise and stress management, allows the body to recharge and supports many biological processes. Sleep is very important for both physical and mental health. A good sleep supports cellular repair and secretes growth hormones. It strengthens the immune system and increases body resistance. Adequate and quality sleep strengthens memory, increases cognitive functions, and facilitates stress management.

Lack of sleep or sleep disorders facilitates weight gain and increases insulin resistance, which can lead to type 2 diabetes and other diseases. It can negatively affect cognitive functions and lead to accidents and injuries due to lack of attention and fatigue.

Having a room temperature between 16-22 degrees (whichever you sleep in more comfortably), keeping the room dim, dark and having clean air, and keeping 4 hours between dinner and sleep, if possible, positively affects the quality of sleep.

Sleep times vary depending on age and physical activity. While babies, the elderly and those who work in high-performance jobs need more sleep, the daily sleep duration of adults (18+) should be between 7-9 hours. Sleeping times below or above these periods may cause health problems.
