The science behind better sleep and how to get it
Sleep is as important for our health as nutrition and exercise. Good sleep affects not only physical but also mental health. Let's find out the science behind better sleep and how it can be achieved.
The Science of Sleep
Sleep is a biological process that is necessary to rest the brain and body. Sleep is divided into two main stages:
REM (Rapid Eye Movement): In this stage the brain remains active and dreams are seen.
Non-REM (Non-Rapid Eye Movement): This is the deep sleep phase in which the body repairs itself.
There are two main factors that regulate sleep:
Circadian Rhythm: This is the body's biological clock that controls the time when we wake up and sleep.
Melatonin Hormone: This hormone is released in darkness and induces sleep.
