How to Improve Sleep Quality

Good sleep produces the best performance and supports good health, so everyone wants to improve the quality of their sleep

Good sleep quality can be evaluated in four ways: good falling asleep, deep sleep, not waking up in the middle of the day, and feeling refreshed and not tired when you wake up. There are several key points to keep in mind for a good night’s sleep, and the following six items provide an approach on how to improve sleep quality.

• Foods
• Drink
• Daytime activities
• Habits
• Environment
• Remove the cause of sleeplessness

Sleep is thought to be caused by two main mechanisms. They are the circadian rhythm mechanism and the homeostatic mechanism.
The circadian rhythm mechanism is a mechanism that believes that humans live in a constant rhythm and that sleep is built into the daily schedule. It is the body’s internal clock. Since we are diurnal animals, we have long lived a life in which we wake up in the morning and go to sleep at night. Vision, the most reliable of the five senses, works best during the day when the sun is shining. Conversely, at night, it is dimmer, making it more difficult for us to act and increasing our chances of predation. It is likely that the survival rate has been improved by sleeping rather than acting at night to avoid wasting energy and to protect ourselves from external enemies.
The homeostatic mechanism, on the other hand, is a mechanism that attempts to maintain homeostasis. When injured, blood clots and scabs in an attempt to repair the injury. The outflow of blood is stopped and the skin is repaired. In sleep, too, the mechanism works to restore the skin to its original state. Physical exertion causes muscle aches, fatigue, and drowsiness. Sleep is what restores the body to its original state.
In other words, the two most important things in sleep are to keep the daily rhythm as uninterrupted as possible and to accumlate physical fatigue. If we can do these two things, we will be able to sleep, but this is not the case in today’s society. We are bombarded with events that disrupt our rhythm, such as sudden rush jobs, excessive stress, and invitations to dinner. And compared to jobs in the past, many jobs today are more mentally exhausting than physically exhausting, which can cause sleeplessness. Even exciting events can disrupt the rhythm. There are game events, late exchanges on social networking sites where you can quickly get in touch with friends anytime, anywhere, and convenience stores are open 24 hours a day, even brightly at night. In this way, there is an environment today that keeps us awake that did not exist in the past. I describes how to improve the quality of sleep by removing as much as possible the stress and modern environment that interfere with sleep, and by making good use of the body’s mechanisms with the help of food.

Depressed patients often suffer from insomnia as well. Insomnia causes mental depression. In this day and age when suicides are on the rise, I believe that increasing the number of people who sleep well will reduce the number of suicides.

We would be very happy if you could put it into practice and tell us that you are sleeping better.
