Quality sleep is the best prevention of stress

During sleep, the brain restores resources, removes the metabolic “traces” of the daily load and organizes impressions, so after a good rest, thoughts become clearer and emotions calmer. This “MK in Pskov” reported in Rospotrebnadzor in the Pskov region.

At the same time, stress and lack of sleep close a vicious circle: tension prevents sleep, and lack of sleep increases sensitivity to stress.

For quality sleep, experts advise to go to bed and get up at the same time, even on weekends, an hour before bedtime, remove gadgets, since blue light interferes with the production of melatonin, sleep in the cool (+18 ... + 22 ° C) and dark, do not use alcohol “for relaxation” and avoid caffeine after 14:00.

Adults usually need 7-9 hours of sleep, but more important is not the number, but the state of health: if in the morning a person is awake and collected, then the brain has managed to recover.
