"My Relationship With Sleep"
"Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." - Benjamin Franklin
How many hours of sleep do you usually get each night, and do you think it’s enough? |
|---|
I take sleep seriously because my health is important. I aim for 7 to 10 hours of sleep each night, except when I have to work overnight.
Generally, to get sufficient sleep, you should aim for 7 to 9 hours each night. Waking up feeling strong, alert, refreshed, and focused indicates that you had a good night's sleep.
Whenever I wake up with a headache or body pain, it signals that I didn't sleep enough, but I do my best to ensure I get adequate rest at night.
Do you follow any sleep routine (like reading, meditation, avoiding screens)? |
|---|
If I have to sleep, I steer clear of lights. When the lights go out, I really enjoy it and drift off, but with the lights on, I can stay awake all night without sleeping.
Another habit I have is watching movies; I often try to use them to help me fall asleep, especially boring ones. This practice really helps me when I struggle to sleep.
What disturbs your sleep the most? (noise, stress, mobile, late-night eating, etc.) |
|---|
Noise disrupts my sleep. I really dislike noise, no matter how minor it is; as soon as it occurs, I wake up and can't fall back asleep.
Whenever I try to sleep, I switch off my phone and ensure my windows are locked so I won't hear any sounds until I wake up. Even the slightest noise can wake me and keep me awake indefinitely, which leads to headaches.
