മിതമായ ഉറക്കം ലഭിക്കുന്നില്ലേ? പണി വരുന്നുണ്ട് പുറകെ | Dr Arun Oommen

We all wish to sleep peacefully. We tend to get good sleep only after completing the right cycle of sleep.
The National Sleep Foundation recommends that an adult must sleep between 7-9 hours. So if we take 8 hours of sleep, we will have 4 stages in our sleep cycle. The sleep cycle consists of Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3 and REM (Rapid Eye Movement).
Phase 1 : Light Sleep
Phase 2 : Moderate Sleep
Phase 3 : Deep Sleep, which is the most important as our memory is being processed and our body is getting rejuvenated.
REM : Where we have dreams.
These 4 combine into one cycle, and one must complete 4 cycles to have fulfilled a good sleep cycle. We can determine if we have completed the cycle through a sleep study called Polysomnography test.
Commonly we can test by seeing if we have had 3-4 dreams per night, this does not include nightmares.
We should always strive to get good sleep as it’s the most important factor in our life.
