Sleep Myth vs Fact & Opinion
Hello guys, so today we'll be looking at some common sleep myths and debunking them with facts to help you separate the what from the chaff when it comes to fining good sleep.
🌙 Myth: "You can catch up on sleep during weekends."
💤 Fact: Our bodies function best with a consistent sleep schedule throughout the week. Trying to make up for lost sleep can disrupt our natural sleep-wake cycle and lead to sleep problems.
😄💬 Opinion: I'll rather use my weekends to catch up on friends and family than use it to sleep.
🌙 Myth: "Alcohol helps you sleep better."
💤 Fact: Alcohol may make you drowsy initially, but it actually disrupts the quality of your sleep. It can lead to fragmented sleep patterns, more frequent awakenings, and decreased REM sleep, affecting overall sleep quality.
😄💬 Opinion: There are days you might need to take some shots with friends at a hangout or a party, but don't make that a regular practice.
🌙 Myth: "Sleeping less means you're more productive."
💤 Fact: This is a common misconception, but it's not true. Inadequate sleep can impair cognitive function, memory, and decision-making abilities. Getting enough sleep is essential for productivity, focus, and overall well-being.
😄💬 Opinion: Plan your day the night before and discipline yourself to stick to that plan except for situations of life and death.
🌙 Myth: "Watching TV or using a phone before bed helps you relax."
💤 Fact: Electronic devices emit blue light, which can suppress the production of the sleep hormone melatonin, making it harder to fall asleep. It's best to limit screen time at least an hour before bedtime for better sleep quality.
😄💬 Opinion: Maybe this is an advise. While the above is a good sleep tip, our lives as Nigerians makes this near impossible. To help, wear blue blockers or turn on your phone's eye care feature in your display settings an hour or two before bed.
🌙 Myth: "Napping during the day is bad for your sleep at night."
💤 Fact: Short power naps (around 20-30 minutes) can be beneficial and rejuvenating. However, long or irregular naps close to bedtime may interfere with nighttime sleep.
😄💬 Opinion: Ensure not to nap after 3pm if you want to sleep early.
🌙 Myth: "Sleep is just a time when the body shuts down."
💤 Fact: Sleep is an active and essential process that supports various bodily functions. During sleep, our bodies repair tissues, consolidate memories, and regulate hormones critical for overall health.
😄💬 Opinion: Sleep is a time when you can manifest too. This is not really an opinion, it's a fact. As we go on, we will discuss in detail how to hack your sleep to manifest your dreams.
🌙 Myth: "You can train yourself to function well on minimal sleep."
💤 Fact: While some people may adapt temporarily, most individuals need 7-9 hours of quality sleep for optimal functioning.
😄💬 Opinion: Try an 8 hour sleep cycle.
🌙 Myth: "Sleeping pills are a quick fix for sleep problems."
💤 Fact: Sleep medications may offer short-term relief, but they are not a sustainable solution. They can lead to dependency and side effects, and they don't address the root causes of sleep issues.
😄💬 Opinion: Our bodies and environment has all the answers so if lack of sleep is hindering you from being the best, look within and not to pills.
