SOME THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE THE TIPS FOR SLEEPING EARLY–
Renowned neurologist Dr David Perlmutter has stated (in The Grain Brain Whole Life Plan) that after 10pm the body metabolizes a lot of waste products, and during 11pm-2am, the immune system recharges itself, so sleeping at this time is too crucial to gain the benefits of sleep.
Matthew Walker, leading sleep expert (currently Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of California, as well as founder and director of the Center for Human Sleep Science), in his New York Times bestseller Why We Sleep: The New Science of Sleep and Dreams explains the science behind the tremendous benefits of sleeping early and on a decent hour –
Sleep is made up of 90-minute cycles, during which the brain moves from deep non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep to rapid eye movement (REM).
The cycles remain fairly consistent but the split between non-REM and REM changes.
Non-REM dominates the cycle in the early part of the night and then REM takes over as we move closer to daybreak.
Non-REM sleep is much deeper and restorative than REM (although both provide different benefits).
Keeping the above mentioned facts in mind and also the fact that you would have to wake up in 7-8 hours – first of all decide on your target time – when you would actually would want to sleep.
Not to stress you out, But it is not just important to sleep 7-8 hours but sleeping at a decent hour is extremely important to gain the benefits of those 7-8 hours of sleep. Sleeping early tips come to work here now.
