Just as eating, drinking and breathing are essential for survival, so too is sleep and rest essential for mental and physical health. At least six to eight hours of sleep at night is a basic and natural need of man. Nature has made the day for work and the night for relaxation.
According to modern scientific research, when a person sleeps deeply, a part of the brain removes the toxic substances that accumulate in the brain during the day's work and provides it with new energy by repairing the entire brain, which makes the brain and body strong and efficient. Restful sleep is very important for good health, physical and mental strength, memory power, cheerfulness and good performance. Apart from this, getting enough sleep keeps a person alert and alert.
Taking a short nap during the day is called a nap.
Napping reduces the risk of stomach, heart and brain diseases, heart attack and stroke, improves the blood system and reduces mental stress and blood pressure. Napping is beneficial at all ages, but napping is more beneficial for children. It is an elixir for their physical and mental development. It keeps children alert and increases mental strength, improves their dedication to studies and memory.
According to modern scientific research, there is a deep process of fluctuation in the human body between one and three in the afternoon. This makes most people sleepy. Especially in summer. Therefore, if a nap (nap) is taken for some time (at least twenty minutes) in the afternoon, fatigue is removed. The body feels alert and cheerful, and the dedication and ability to work increases.
Today's developed nations are researching and adopting naps, but our tragedy is that we are abandoning them. After eating, the human mind becomes full. The body also feels sleepy and the person yawns. Due to this, his mouth opens repeatedly because tension is created in the body. In this case, a person should take light sleep so that the fatigue and lethargy of the body can be removed.
Sleep is a habit of a person as well as a means of best worship. Therefore, people who sleep after Isha usually complete their sleep by themselves and wake up at Tahajjud time. Sleeping early after Isha at night calms the nerves of a person, and sleeping early at night is a relief from the fatigue of the whole day. Today, the night of a person is filled with the glare of lights. Shopping plazas and countless hotels and restaurants for eating and drinking stay open until late at night and enthusiastic people sleep late at night after being busy with entertainment and eating and drinking until late at night. Due to which their morning is also at noon the next day. The excessive consumption of junk food, fried foods, and cold drinks by humans has become a cause of heart attacks, blood pressure, diabetes, physical weakness, stomach diseases, and mental and psychological diseases. To avoid all of these, night sleep is very important.
It is important to take care of a few things to get sleep
. Lie down after completing your daily needs.
. Drink as little water as possible before going to bed.
Lay your mind and body in a comfortable position and say various prayers to avoid different thoughts.
. Keep the light in the room to a minimum.
. Stay away from noise. If possible, adopt the habit of studying. Creating a routine in this way is also beneficial.
. The most important thing for restful sleep is time. Medical experts say that the human body has a biological clock that organizes our physical system based on daylight and darkness of night, that is, prepares the body to sleep, wake up, and work. This system is under the control of a genetic material called genes. It is less active during the dark hours of the night and more active during the daylight hours. That is, working alertly after breakfast in the morning and feeling sleepy after dinner is due to this natural body clock. Disruption of this protein also disrupts our body clock.
. Taking a short walk before going to bed and taking long breaths
. Making proper arrangements to keep the body warm in winter and sleeping in an open airy place in summer is very useful for good sleep.
. Sleeping on the right side is very beneficial for the human body in medical terms.
. Laptops, mobiles, etc. should be kept away from the bed while sleeping because the waves emanating from them have a very bad effect on the human body.
. Avoid using things like tea and coffee before going to bed because they increase blood circulation, which has a bad effect on sleep.
. Do not sleep after reading a scary movie or a suspenseful novel before going to bed, because then these thoughts will disturb your sleep.
. Before going to bed, convince yourself at least three times that you have to wake up at such and such an hour. This will usually cause you to open your eyes at such and such an hour.
Using a proper pillow is very important. It should not be too hard or too high. This has a very bad effect on the posture and neck muscles.
