There is one resolution that will make all the others succeed much faster: a good night's sleep. How does sufficient sleep help achieve resolutions such as losing weight, learning something new, or leading a more relaxed life?
What is the optimal length of a good night's sleep?
A good night's rest starts with 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep, although this can vary by person. Many people think that they will still wake up rested with much less sleep, 5 to 6 hours. However, these are exceptions. The human body needs 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep. Sleeping less than 7 hours per night increases the risk of physical ailments, according to research by the World Health Organization.
This is how optimal sleep helps with the following 3 resolutions
To fall off
Losing weight is number one on lists of New Year's resolutions. A good night's sleep supports this resolution, whether it involves shedding those extra pounds from Christmas or if it has been a long-standing plan. This has everything to do with hormone balance. Sufficient sleep ensures the production of the hormone leptin, which provides a feeling of satiety after eating during the day. At the same time, sufficient sleep inhibits the production of the hormone ghrelin, an appetite-stimulating hormone, so that we do not overeat. The body is also geared towards activity during the day and rest at night. Good sleep stimulates a healthy metabolism, which aids in weight loss.
Learning something new
Many people seize the start of a new year to learn something new: learning to play a musical instrument, a new language like Chinese, or taking a wine course. We learn something new in three steps. First, we absorb the information; next, it must be transferred to long-term memory so that we can finally remember it at a later time. That second step, getting the information into long-term memory, takes place during sleep. Sleeping well is essential to remember and use the information!
more relaxed life
Irritable or tense after a short night? A good night's sleep contributes to waking up rested. During the day, we reap the benefits: we are more positive, cheerful, and have fewer worries. A more relaxed life starts with getting out of bed on the right foot.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”2/3″][vc_row_inner top_padding=”30″ bottom_padding=”0″][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-4-percent” column_padding_position=”all” background_color=”#cbdbdb” background_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/1″][vc_column_text el_class=”inzicht inzichtcruciaalja”]With good sleep, you will achieve your resolutions faster!
