Guess what, hitting the snooze button is okay! Have you heard someone say, “Oh, I feel fine on four to five hours of sleep.” They may be kidding themselves!
Carlyle Smith, a psychology professor and director of the Trent University Sleep Research Laboratory, has studied sleep and memory for 35 years. Smith firmly believes seven to eight hours of sleep is enough but says, “If you like nine, then take nine when possible.”
From preventing road accidents, to removing the unsightly bags under the eyes, to reducing the risk of diabetes, sleep has a huge impact on health. Smith notes that changes in brain activity happen when continual lack of proper sleep occurs. The evidence of this is slurred speech, simple vocabulary used, tripping over things and the math side of your brain isn’t working! Your brain requires sleep to help file memories and information away.
It’s a new year, so let’s start fresh and make good on those health resolutions like getting better sleep!
