Spánek. Pro tělo životně důležitý proces, který pomáhá lidskému tělu zotavit se po náročném dni. Kolik času bychom si na něj ale měli vyhradit? Jsou čísla hovořící o potřebě spánku pro muže rozdílné jako při potřebě spánku pro ženy? Neurochirurgové nebo tedy vědci, kteří se zabývají činností mozku, bijí na poplach. Dnešní populace je k základním věcem až příliš lehkomyslná.
Ladies, get ready for bed
The complexity of brain function in women requires adequate rest. Jim Horne, a professor at Loughborough University in England, says: “Lack of sleep in women is strongly linked to high levels of stress, as well as feelings of insecurity, depression and anger. Lack of sleep does not affect men in this way. “
8 hours?
How many hours of sleep are therefore necessary for a healthy and effective functioning the following day? Eight hours of sleep is ideal, but Professor Horne explains that women should rest a little longer. He argues that women are subjected to more strains during the day — work, children, household tasks, dealing with interpersonal relationships, etc. While men devote themselves exclusively to work during the day and, when they come home, practically switch off their brains, women come home to a “second shift,” resulting in many times greater exhaustion. Even if you don’t feel it physically, it can happen that a lack of sleep and too much stress will catch up with you in older age. It’s no wonder that women suffer from neuroses and depression several times more often than men. Therefore they should give their bodies longer rest.
Emergency mode
Compared to men, women do more things at once, putting their brain into the so-called emergency mode. The consequence is that it takes much more time for their brain to return to a normal state after the daily rush. And the best way to achieve that is through long, quality sleep.
Good night
As to when women should go to bed, each should answer that for herself. The recommended sleep time for women is at least eight and a half hours. So if you get up at six in the morning on a regular working day, you should go to bed around half past nine. Sounds impossible? It’s all a matter of priorities. Don’t forget that it’s about your health. By the way, scientists say that women gain beauty during sleep precisely in the hours before midnight. Your skin, as well as your nervous and digestive systems, will also reward you.
Even when men have time-demanding jobs, their bodies are still better able to cope with a lack of sleep more easily than women’s. Do not neglect your sleep and keep your health and well-being in mind.
