MOlto said he was getting ready to sleep to sleep, but one wonders more rarely: what is the best way to wake up? The answer, according to several experts in sleep and circadian rhythms interviewees from the New York Timesit is not unique, but there are some good practices that can make The most natural and energetic awakening. The first advice is as simple as it is difficult to follow: get up every day at the same time. It does not matter if you are a herd or a night owner, what really matters, the doctors underline, is regularity. Our body is programmed to follow precise cycles that influence not only sleep, but also mood, metabolism and cognitive skills. Breaking these rhythms, perhaps sleeping late on the weekend, can cause what the specialists call “Social Jet Lag”: a sort of physiological disorientation that negatively affects the entire body.
Sun and consistency: invisible allies to wake up well
Another fundamental pillar to wake up better is Exposure to light, preferably natural. Scholars recommend that you immediately open the windows or turn on the lights just awake, and go out to the open air within an hour from awakening. Even only 15 minutes of exposure to sunlight can help “restart” our biological clock and paradoxically encourage better sleep the next night. This because light stimulates the production of cortisol, The hormone that keeps brigade and active during the day, while regulating the release of melatonin in the evening. Alternatively, for those who wake up before dawn or live in areas with little light, a device like a light box or An alarm clock that simulates the dawn. The message is clear: even on cloudy days, the morning light has a concrete biological effect.
No to the postponement of the alarm clock, yes to awareness
Finally, a tip that will not like to lovers of the Pose button: avoid it as much as possible. Even if to postpone the alarm it looks like an innocent pampering, in reality It can confuse the body and increase the feeling of tiredness. If your first thought to the sound of the alarm is “still five minutes”, perhaps you should simply set it later, allowing you an uninterrupted and more regenerating sleep. Postpart several times the alarm does not allow the brain to complete the sleep cycles, leaving us intoned and less shiny. In essence, the way we wake up can influence the whole day: choosing a coherent routine and respectful of natural rhythms is the first step to start on the right foot.
