I have the tendency to stay up at night and study or work. As a result, I barely get any sleep. Once I realized my sleep pattern was adversely affecting my health, I decided to make a change. I searched online for information on the benefits of a good night’s sleep. The results were exciting! Here are just a few ways that getting at least 8 hours of sleep a night helps your body: For those of you who are like me and need some convincing to get the sleep you need, these are the reasons I’ve been telling myself to increase my sleep. I’ve been having trouble sleeping since elementary school. I’d like to say that a good night’s sleep can help me graduate a little earlier then my friends.

How I realized my sleep pattern was affecting my health

I realized my sleep pattern was affecting my health when I started noticing how exhausted I felt during the day. No matter how much sleep I got, I always felt tired and had a hard time concentrating. I also started to get more headaches and felt irritable a lot of the time. I finally realized that my sleep pattern was the problem when I did some research and found out that I was not getting enough deep sleep. I was only getting about 4 hours of deep sleep each night, which was not enough for my body to recover from the day. I decided to change my sleep habits and make sure I was getting at least 7 hours of deep sleep every night. 

The importance of sleep

Sleep is critical for our physical and mental health. It allows our bodies to repair and regenerate, and it gives our brains a chance to rest and process information. Without enough sleep, we are more likely to get sick, to feel stressed and anxious, and to have difficulty concentrating and making decisions. In the long term, chronic sleep deprivation can lead to serious health problems, including obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. There are many different factors that can affect our sleep, including our diet, our environment, and our sleep habits. 

Sleep cycle

There are two types of sleep cycles: the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep cycle and the non-REM sleep cycle. The REM sleep cycle is when you dream and your eyes move rapidly. The non-REM sleep cycle is when you are in a deeper sleep and your eyes do not move.

How am I planning to use technology to sleep better?

There are a few different ways that I plan on using technology to help me sleep better. One way is by using a sleep tracker app on my phone to help me keep track of my sleep patterns and see where I can improve. I also plan on using a white noise app to help me block out any unwanted noise and help me relax. And lastly, I’ll be making sure to disconnect from all screens at least 30 minutes before bed to help me wind down and prepare for a good night’s sleep.
