A restful night ensures we start the new day feeling rested, relaxed, and fit. It also positively impacts our health and overall well-being. This nightly rest should \u2013 and this is scientifically proven \u2013 ideally last between seven and eight hours. <\/p>\n
While we slumber, our body regenerates. The immune system neutralizes dangerous invaders, and metabolism works at full speed. In addition, the memory units in our brain are cleared for the next day as we process the day’s experiences in our subconscious. This prepares it for the new day. <\/p>\n
Given all that happens during our nightly rest, it’s no surprise that a lack of sleep directly impacts our health. Wound healing is promoted, and cell damage in the skin and tissue is repaired. Additionally, our heart beats slower, and our blood pressure decreases. However, frequent waking causes it to rise and can lead to high blood pressure if sleep disturbances persist. It’s no coincidence that our body demands rest when we are sick, for example. <\/p>\n
Sleep, therefore, serves for recovery and regeneration, and the rule is: if there’s chaos in your head, it also affects your well-being. Those who brood over problems before falling asleep or worry about checking off their to-do list will sleep significantly worse than someone who simply uses the time to consciously switch off. Therefore, negative thoughts and worries should have no place in the bedroom. <\/p>\n
Since we spend a third of the day in our bedroom or in bed, create a pleasant sleep environment. Darken your bedroom, keep the temperature below 20 degrees Celsius, ensure fresh air, and switch off all electronic devices half an hour before going to bed. No TV, no streaming, no cell phone. The blue light from electronic devices suppresses the production of the hormone melatonin, which your body needs; it signals to the body that it’s time to sleep and makes you tired. That’s why it’s also called the sleep hormone. Ideally, all electronic devices should be outside the bedroom. Instead, read a book (but it shouldn’t be too exciting), meditate, or go on a fantasy or dream journey. Then you’ll have ideal conditions for a restful night with optimal regeneration. <\/p>\n
In addition to all these things, it is, of course, also important to spend enough time outdoors, get enough exercise, and adjust your diet if necessary. Who hasn’t experienced it? We spend a rainy Sunday on the couch watching TV, perhaps even dozing off repeatedly. In the evening, when we want to go to bed, we are tired because our body has been running on low power, but we can’t fall asleep and are restless all night. In contrast, on a beautiful sunny Sunday, which we spend outdoors in the fresh air and then go to the Ebikon gym in the evening, we lie down in bed and fall asleep quite quickly. <\/p>\n
