Healthy Sleep Habits: The connection between sleep and good health goes back a long way. It is said that good sleep is the key to health. Lack of sleep can cause many diseases. Among these, diabetes is at the first place. People become victims of obesity due to lack of sleep. At the same time, people who sleep less often suffer from diseases like cold and infection. Let us find out why this happens due to lack of sleep. Health expert Lavneet Batra has given information about this.
Why do people who sleep less often fall ill?
Sleep has a profound effect on your immune system. People who sleep less than 7 hours are three times more likely to catch a cold than people who sleep 8 hours or more. Actually, the way our body works throughout the day, physical activities, mental stress, all these things affect our immune system. When you sleep, your body and cells repair themselves and prepare you for the next day. But when you sleep, your immune system becomes weak, which increases the risk of infection. Getting enough sleep keeps the body’s white blood cells active which protects against diseases.
What should quality sleep look like?
Sleep does not mean sleeping for a long time, rather you need deep and peaceful sleep. Good sleep duration is usually 7 to 9 hours. Which keeps the biological clock of the body correct.
What to do for good sleep?
- Avoid smartphones and screens
- Keep the bedroom quiet.
- If it is cold weather, keep the room warm.
- Keep the room cool during summer season.
- Keep the bed soft.
