One of the first things we learned is that what goes on in your head determines how you sleep (to a large extent). Emotions, including the fear of not being able to sleep, tension and stress ensure that you lie awake, while your body is tired. Interesting: how long you sleep exactly (most people 'need' about 7,5 hours a night to wake up fresh, rested and before the alarm clock) is less important than the quality of your sleep. If you don't sleep that deeply, your body doesn't rest and you can't recover as well. Result? Less energy and, for example, more hunger (sleep is also important if you want to lose weight, and not just because your brain kick-starts your metabolism during your sleep). Most people (note: everyone is different) have an ideal sleeping pattern where you sleep between 22.00:7.00 and 22.00:2.00. The hours between 20:30 and XNUMX:XNUMX are the most important. Easy to say when you have a little one who wakes up a few times a night… We will dedicate another article to that; now it is about grown-ups. What we found interesting is that naps of XNUMX-XNUMX minutes during the day really help. Why so short? Because otherwise you get into your 'deep' sleep with the result that you suffer from it at night.
