How well are you sleeping?
Answer 5 simple questions in our sleep test for a brief evaluation and some advice.
Take the sleep testJunk sleep is a term coined by The Sleep Council, a British organisation that investigates sleep and aims to help people improve their chances of a solid bit of kip. Junk sleep is sleep that is neither long enough nor good enough quality to restore the brain to the level needed to perform well the next day. In this blog, I take a look at the impact junk sleep can have on your health and identify useful ways of promoting a good sleep pattern.
In a recent report1, The Sleep Council describes the effect that mobile phones, tablets, and televisions are having on our sleep.
The blue light that computers, mobile phones and tablets emit disrupts the body’s body clock, which is programmed to respond to light as a wake-up call.
It’s hard for the body to relax into peaceful slumber when numerous lights are blinking all around it. The sleep hormone, melatonin is less likely to be secreted, and bang goes the chance of slipping readily into dreamland.
Watching television in bed can also lead to poor quality sleep, despite the fact that many people think that watching the box last thing at night will lull them to sleep. 39% of those who watch television in bed sleep very poorly most nights. On the other hand, 39% of those who read before they go to sleep, sleep very well.
