Why sleep is divine and should be respected as so #4

Although it isn't recommended to sleep in such an extreme manner(nor in anyway is that logical or safe. Simply don't mimic what that guy is doing),  we should take extreme care by following what our body wants to do when night comes and our bodies automatically begin slowing down the gears in our system so we can rest.

There are two key factors that play in our body that essential to sleep. They do not follow a certain order, instead they cycle between each other during sleep. The first one is NREM(Non-Rapid Eye Movement).  During NREM, muscle tissue is regenerated and repaired. and is known to strengthen the immune system. During this phase the body goes through 4 simple stages.

1) Wakefulness is reduced and this stage can last for ten minutes where the body can be awakened without feeling like they ever fell asleep.

2) At this point the body begins to enter deep sleep and conscious awareness of environment and sound begin to fade away. You and I know this feeling when after a nap or sleep you may forget where you are after awaking up.

3&4)  If awakened at this point, the person may feel slightly disoriented and very groggy. Some effects of disturbing a person at this point can cause them to feel depressed and angry.

REM sleep is when the body enters a state of intense dreaming in which the brain is highly active, but the body is temporarily paralyzed and immobile. So, for a moment, you are trapped in your paralyzed body without being consciously aware of it. Some people wake up into sleep paralysis where they can't move within minutes of waking up, but this is only temporary, so there's not much need for alarm. REM sleep  is essential because it stimulates the brain regions for learning and retaining information. We obviously need that and shouldn't abuse such a thing for watching videos late into the unforgiving night.

Lack of sleep entails:

• Depression
• Decreased immune response
• Fatigue
• Increased pain
• Impaired memory and thought process

I know it may seem impossible and incredibly difficult, but don't follow this example.

And it is never too late to fix your sleep routine. Well, if you wait too long, you can actually develop terrifying and severe sleep disorders that you have never heard of, but I am not using terror to persuade you, just simply informing you. The average person need a minimum of 9 hours of sleep every single night! I know research and mothers have said maybe "seven" at most a night will do, but as studies progress, the hours of sleep believed to be needed increases each time. So, at your very best, try to control the environment around you in a calm manner ( don't yell at grandma to turn down her video games). Just invest in some ear plugs and tuning down when the sun goes down. Treat your body with respect the night before because it is going to need it to function at full capacity the next day.
