Sleep is indispensable for us to live. It's very important. But lately, our fascination with sleep feels as if it's taken on an urgency. When you research about sleep on the internet, you'll find a slew of articles about how to make your sleep perfect. Even though there are lots of services, products and advice colums, their informations can be wrong. And also you might find scary messaging claiming that if you're not sleeping right your life is going to be shorter, you're going to get all kinds of diseases.
By lacking of enough sleep and anything less than seven hours a night, we're afraid of doom to bad health. But there are two flaws with this kind of messaging. The first flaw is that not completely accurate. Fixating solely on seven to eight hours ignores the fact that there's a range of sleep that people need. Because the duration of a good night's sleep can be different for each person.
The second of flaw with this kind of doomsday messaging is that can be counterproductive. For instance, sleep tracking devices was popular in the US in 2019. It can gauge how much sleep you've gotten each night, and let us know what part of your night was slept in deep sleep or dreaming. But having all of that sleep data is causing some people to become orthosomia , which preoccupation with the constant need to achieve perfect sleep.
Orthosomia might be an extreme example, but we worry about our sleep qualities. So you should ask the questions yourself. The questions are : Do I feel reasonably well-rested during the day? Do I generally sleep through the night without disturbances? Or, if I wake, do I fall back asleep easily? Can I stay awake through the day without involuntarily falling sleep? If your answers are yes to all three, you don't have to worry about your sleep. And if you're struggling with your sleep, you had better try talking with your doctor to make sure there aren't any medical conditions that need to be explored first. Then you should try evidence-based recommendations laid out by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. And there's a highly effective therapy called cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, CBT-I. It has a really low failure rate even though it doesn't have any medications.
