Sleep quality matters more than sleep quantity for your health.
It is said that everyone needs eight hours of sleep per night.However,sleeping six and a half hours per night is better than eight hours.This is because what matters is how much sleep you have within the hours of sleep and not the number of sleeping hours you have had.
Exposure to blue light affects your sleep.Blue light can be through use of electronic devices such as laptops and phone.Most people switch off the lights and continue using their phones in bed.Research shows that using your phone immediately before sleeping disrupts your sleep hence one gets less sleep which increases chances of developing heart diseases.Less sleep also causes one to feel tired all day which is not healthy to your body.
To get quality six to seven hour sleep,be active during the day.It helps you manage weight too.Ensure your environment is conducive for sleep.Avoid blue light through switching off lights or putting your electronic devices on night mode.Relieve yourself from stress,anxiety and worries.Know that your health matters more than the the things you are worried about.
