We looked into how to get a good night’s sleep and what behaviors are harmful to sleeping.
Experts first ranked alcohol as the number one sleep disruptor.
[Joo Eun-yeon/Professor of Neurology, Samsung Seoul Hospital: You’re welcome. When you drink alcohol, it anesthetizes your brain. It feels like it helps you sleep because it temporarily makes you fall asleep faster… If you drink alcohol chronically, your brain will be damaged. There is something called sleep breathing disorder where you snore and don’t breathe while you sleep. Later on, it leads to dementia.]
Coffee also wakes up the brain and interferes with sleep. Especially these days, many people use smartphones before going to bed. It is advised that exposure to strong light above 150 ㏓ greatly interferes with sleep.
The time you go to bed is of utmost importance.
[Joo Eun-yeon/Professor of Neurology, Samsung Seoul Hospital:스포츠토토 At least go to bed and make sure that holidays and weekdays are the same. If you just follow these guidelines, there are cases where sleep problems can be significantly solved.]
In particular, hormones related to immunity, growth, and sleep are released between 11 PM and 2 AM the next day, so you should sleep regularly and go to bed early rather than sleeping a lot.
[Joo Eun-yeon/Professor of Neurology, Samsung Seoul Hospital: The three stages of deep sleep usually last from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. No matter how long you sleep, it is useless.]
Severe snoring, also known as sleep apnea, can lead to various complications such as stroke, vascular heart disease, dementia, etc., so you must be diagnosed at a hospital and prescribed assistive devices.
These days, with insurance coverage, you can use the equipment at a much lower cost than before.
Sleep is the most important thing for a healthy life.
The first step to healthy sleep is making small lifestyle changes rather than using expensive products or medications.
