HOW MUCH SLEEP DO YOU ACTUALLY NEED?
You are actually doing yourself a disservice by sacrificing sleep because, without it, your brain becomes foggy, your judgment poor, and your fine motor skills hindered.
During sleep, your brain is busy processing information from the day and forming memories. Sleep deprivation does, in fact, impair your ability to learn and retain new information.
Behavioral studies have shown the critical role sleep plays as a powerful learning- and memory aid. Both before learning, to prepare your brain for making new memories, and after learning, to cement those memories and prevent forgetting.
These are the recommended sleep durations per age from www.sleepfoundation.org
Newborns (0-3 months) 14-17 h.
Infant (4-11 months) 12-15 h.
Toddler (1-2 years) 11-14 h.
Pre-School (3-5 y) 10-13 h.
School Age (6-13 y) 9-11 h.
Teen (14-17 y) 8-10h.
Adults (18+) 7-9 h.
WHY IS SLEEP IMPORTANT?
Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life.
During sleep, your body is working to support healthy brain function and maintain your physical health. For example, sleep is involved in healing and repair of your heart and blood vessels. In children and teens, sleep also helps support growth and development.
Studies show that a good night's sleep improves learning. Sleep also helps you pay attention, make decisions, and be creative.
The damage from sleep deficiency can occur in an instant (such as a car crash), or it can harm you over time. For example, ongoing sleep deficiency can raise your risk for some chronic health problems. It also can affect how well you think, react, work, learn, and get along with others.
Until next time.
Stay strong and sleep well.
