How much sleep is ideal?
Perhaps as we know, at least 6 hours of sleep a person will provide good quality sleep. But in fact, at least 6 hours of sleep does not guarantee someone will get quality sleep. Every person is different to that, some people may take 7-9 hours of sleep a day, and some simply just 5-6 hours. Some even spend time to get more sleep, it could be a sign if someone is stress or depression or chronic fatigue syndrome.
It would be better if we know our own ideal sleep time, it is key to obtaining quality sleep, because sleep quality did not have to have a high quantity, as stated by Carol Ash, medical director of Sleep for Life, in Hillsboroughm NJ
Lack of sleep health hazard
A study conducted in England, observed that a person who constantly has a lack of sleep intensity (defined as less than 5 hours per day) had a higher risk of high blood pressure and cardiovascular problems.
Lack of sleep also increases the risk of obesity, diabetes, depression, alcoholism, and others. In addition, a 2007 study conducted by the University of California, Berkeley, confirmed that lack of sleep or sleep quantity will directly affect the area of the brain that affect mood and concentration.
The characteristics of sleep quality
Talking about the quality of sleep, every person has different problems, and need to combine the quality and quantity of sleep. An insomniac who are awake at night, it will be easier to detect a disturbance in the body, but a person with sleep apnea or habitual snoring during sleep may be more difficult to detect any problems. Symptoms of sleep apnea that is meresa sleepy during the day, for no reason that you do not know know, snore and stop breathing during sleep. A person suffering from sleep apnea at risk for cardiovascular disease. Respiratory problems that often occur at night makes a person deprived of oxygen that can damage the brain, heart and other organs.
The easiest indicator to determine whether the quality of our sleep is to feel what you feel when you wake up. If you wake up feeling fresh or fresh, and the state of siege was a sign you have a quality sleep. The opposite when you wake up with the condition still sleepy or want to go back to sleep, do not focus, and a little emotion, it can be a sign you suffer from sleep disorders.
