Getting enough sleep important for health. Many life factors can cause sleep disorders or keep people from falling asleep, staying asleep, getting enough sleep, sleep disorders became more common after the widespread diffusion of artificial lighting technology during the early 20th century.
Some medications and substances like alcohol / ethanol, caffeine in coffee & tea, ADD & ADHD medications and other stimulating compounds and substances can interfere with the sleep wake cycle or circadian rhythm, something covered by the science of Chronobiology!
During sleep, the brain shrinks down to squeeze out metabolites & other junk produced by mental brain metabolism, the consumption of glucose to power brain cells also produces waste products. Inside the cerebral spinal fluid, these waste products are then transported to the liver & kidney which is one reason morning urine tends to be darker in color. People loose body water while sleeping & become dehydrated, this is why drinking water upon waking so important.
During sleep the mind organizes and consolidates memories, extracting relevant or useful things to remember from the working short term & mid term memory & encoding it into brain cells as long term memories by protein synthesis. This is why traumatic events can have long term mental consequences, and why having a healthy mind so important for health, because of the scientifically proven mind body connection & placebo effect, such that the Law of Attraction in quantum physics means that what your mind thinks about now affects your future, your bodies physiology, your strength, physical endurance, your outlook, your moral, your persona, your personality, and every other aspect of your financial future are influenced by your thinking.
Sleep very important for health because during sleep phases then body performs regular cell clean up processes to make new cells, to clear out broken cells and junk parts of cells, to clean up cell waste, to repair damages cells, the clean up body fluids, to restore flesh, organs, bone, bone marrow, the brain & many other parts of the body.
Sleep also known as a form or rest or relaxation & tends to promote healing of the body. This is why people in hospitals are kept in beds & told to rest more. Doctors tell patients recovering from surgery to get more sleep & to drink enough water to start hydrated, since bother are super important for recovery.
Life can injury the body, mind, and brain, while sleep & staying well hydrated & eating a clean balanced diet have health promoting effects. Getting enough regular activity or movement or exercise during the day, not near bedtime, also important to improve sleep.
Drink caffeinated beverages like coffee or tea or energy drinks if you must, right upon waking or right after waking up for the day & try to avoid alcohol or caffeine close to bed time. Alcohol interfere with sleep cycling because of its broad biological effects, but also because its metabolite is a toxin that chemically stresses the body and one reason that many people experience a hangover after drinking too much the night before. Its takes the body a long time to eliminate caffeine and alcohol, and I cannot have any blood alcohol in my body where I work since my job as a School Bus Driver super safety oriented & alcohol impairs brain function in a lot of different and mostly negative ways!
I must wake at 4:30-5:30 am every day & typically do so easily naturally, but set a backup alarm on workdays, since I have to be to work at 6:30am. This work well if I get ready for bed around 7:15pm, brush & floss my teeth, relieve myself for the last time, turn out the lights, turn on some brown noise by asking Alexa to play it through the Amazon Echo zip-tied to the bed post with an enormous off-white nylon zip tie that I recovered from a shelving assembly that Meg & I removed from its retail box to facilitate organizing objects in the garage.
If you use a small pointed object inside the the zip ties box-end, you can lift the claw-tang that engages the ridges in the zip-ties band, thus enabling you to slip the band out of the box end & granting you the ability to reuse it. This was the largest plastic zip-tie I have ever seen. It easily wrapped entirely around the 3 gen Echo & the brass rail with extra length to spare, probably over 1/4 in or 1cm wide band probably 1/8 or 3mm thick too, and very strong! I have seen larger metal zip-ties used in commercial and industrial applications.
I move around a lot in my sleep, something my Apple Watch notices & even something that showed up in the 23&Me genetic testing, showing that's a trait. I also notice waking up every 90 min or so, after completing a sleep cycle or set of sleep stages.
I have been averaging 6 hr 34 min of sleep per night for the last several months. My problem with not getting enough sleep originates in living in a home where it's loud & bright until late into the night, lamps & TV turned up loud produced a lot of sound pollution.
I have done what I can to address this issue as have the others that live with me, but our cat wakes me up meowing in the middle of the night & my wife sometimes wakes me up because of having to deal with a low blood sugar, her Dexcom unit blinking & beeping like an alarm clock.
Sometimes Meg dealing with feeding the kitty in the middle of the night makes a lot of noise, bags crinkling & such that wakes me up. I get pretty irritated & sometimes angry about this, because I consider it high inconsiderate to interrupt someone else's sleeping, given the vast importances of sleep for health & wellness!
There in lies why I find it exceedingly annoying when people with loud vehicle exhaust systems rev their engines in the very early morning hours & do other inconsiderate things because they apparently do not consider the negative effect this has as a disruption to other people, robbing others of sleep or rest or peace! We even have laws against loud noises during night-time hours, and I have called the police to come deal with these new drivers who are typically in an age bracket where the brain has not fully developed, which can take until age 27, when I think the drivers license should be granted to those who past training, written & driving tests & paid the fee's for such accordingly. That's right, I do not think the state should grant a drivers license to anyone under the age of 27, look at the accident vs driver age statistics to understand why!
I am personally biased about the idea of allowing teenagers to drive automobiles legally because my sister Erika Lynn Schwarz will killed when a vehicle piloted by a teenager slid down a hill during a unexpected snow storm, as he was trying to get home from working at the local grocery store at the bottom of the small mountain we were living on at the time. His vehicle was old, used & cheap, his first car, and he was commuting too and from his first job. He never intended on getting into an accident. It was cold, but not snowing, on that day when he left for work. It was in January, the month that has the most snowy winter weather local, in the Western Cascade Foothills slightly East of Seattle, Wa, USA. As the snow accumulated, Erika went with her neighbor friend Katie outside & was making a snow angel in the front yard of our home, in the grass lawn area that was relatively flat. As Bart drove his poorly maintained vehicle (his parents negligent, he didn't know about better) up the very steep road in-front of our home, he lost traction, his vehicle slid down the hill, jumping the curb, the metal bumper striking Erika's head with what ended up being a fatal blow. Barn never forgave himself of this accident, having killed a young little girl with his car. He contacted my parents & told us his life has been a disaster since that fateful day.
