I sleep for less than 6 hours everyday not because i'm a workaholic but because i'm a light sleeper.
Every little noise wakes me up and living around a student's hostel doesn't help at all.
The loud noise,movement and music all end up waking me at night and even during the day when i take a nap.
It hasn't always been like this,it started when i moved to the environment i just mentioned.
I end up having colds,headache and fast heart beats whenever i sleep less than 5-6 hours.
Does anyone experience same light sleep at night?
How are you managing it?
Share with me o,i'm tired of this lifestyle.

Nairalandsss:
you really need to work on fixing your sleep habits. Almost 40% of the adults out there sleep less than the recommended seven-eight hours a day. Sleep is essential for the overall health and well-being. When people sleep for less than 6-7 hours every day, they are more susceptible to be affected by certain diseases. There are several health benefits of sleep than what you’d ever imagined. Adequate sleep is a key part of a healthy lifestyle and can benefit your heart, weight, mind and more.

An extra hour of sleep can make a lot of difference to your health. Lack of sleep can bring about significant changes in the body and also increase your risk of certain health issues like obesity and even early death. Here are some benefits of sleeping for eight hours sleep every day.

benefits of sleeping for eight hours every day are:

1.You’ll Be Happier: A poor night’s sleep can affect ones happiness as much as how tight deadlines can. Sleeping poorly can ruin ones day.

2.Avoids Erectile Dysfunction: Not getting enough sleep can affect the libido and increase the chances of erectile dysfunction. Sleep is considered as restorative and increases the testosterone levels that can boost the sexual drive. This is also one of the top health benefits of sleeping 8 hours .

3.It Can Help Build Muscles Easily: If you don’t sleep, you cannot build muscles. Sleep is the time when your body heals the damage done to your cells and tissues when you’re awake. During the time of sleep, the body also releases growth hormone. Lack of sleep is linked with muscle atrophy .

4.Helps You Maintain A Healthy Weight: People who sleep less are more likely to be obese. People who slept less than seven hours a night were 7.5 times more likely to be overweight, as per a study. This is due to hormonal changes that occur due to sleep deprivation. This is also confirmed in the study ‘The Association Between Short Sleep And Obesity After Controlling For Demographic, Lifestyle, Work And Health Related Factors’.

5.Prevents The Risk Of Diabetes: People who sleep six hours or less are 1.7 times likely to develop diabetes and those who slept for 5 hours or less were found to be 2.5 times as likely to develop diabetes, as noted by a study. Type 2 diabetes can also lead to other health problems such as strokes, amputations, blindness and organ damage .

6.Healthier Skin: Sleeping poorly is also associated with chronic skin conditions. It was found that people who slept for eight hours every day recovered better after an ultraviolet exposure. They also showed fewer signs of ageing, as per a study. This is one of the top benefits of sleeping for 8 hours .

7.Prevents Migraines And Other Headaches: People who don’t sleep for seven-eight hours are more likely to suffer from migraines. Poor sleep quality is associated with episodic migraine and other types of headaches.

8.Will Be More Productive At Work: Sleep deprivation can make you tiresome and also make it difficult to concentrate at work. It can take a toll on both your work life and personal life. Good sleep and rest is necessary to go about your work productively.

9.You’ll See Better: Our eyes get tired without sleep and they need a good amount of sleep at any cost. Poor sleep can lead to vision errors like tunnel vision to seeing double. You’ll also experience sleep loss hallucinations.

10.Less Likely To Catch Cold: If you haven’t slept well before being exposed to a virus, your weakened immune system is more likely to catch it. Those who slept less than seven hours a night were three times more likely to catch cold, as noted by a study. This is one of the top benefits of sleeping early in the night .

11.Less Likely To Develop Certain Types Of Cancer: People who work night shifts or have disrupted circadian cycles and don’t sleep enough are likely to encounter some health problems. Night workers are more likely to develop colon and breast cancer .

12.Fewer Heart Problems: Sleeping five hours or less a night is associated with a 45% increased risk of heart attacks. Being awake increases the blood pressure levels, and hence it is strictly recommended for adults to sleep at least eight hours every day.

These are the benefits of sleeping for eight hours every day.

Integrityfarms:
With this recommendation one is sleeping off 1/3 of his life.... Too bad

It's not really about how hard one works is it? It's about a more productive and meaningful life. Enjoying life by being more awake and alert to savour it

elantraceey:
when is one supposed to sleep?

Dont mind me, at my former Job i sleep by 10 or 11 and wake by 5,that's 6 hours. The struggle in the country is just too much to have 8hrs to yourself for sleeping.

So na Lagos pple full nairaland so. No wonder

Instead of typing 1000 to buy a recharge card. He mistakenly typed 100,000. And he has only 110,000 in his account before. Now in his phone there is 100,000. While in his account is only 10,000. This guy would enjoy calling his love ones

Linus,,that was not the real story,,stop twisting it so that it will look sweet,,he has 11k and mistakenly type 10k instead of 1k

But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.-- Mathew 13:25




Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.-- Proverbs 20:13

nairaman66:
Very unrealistic timings! Most of us are online on NL till 12:00AM, how can you sleep 8hrs and be able to beat the the traffic from Argungi stretching towards Jakande to first toll gate?

Not everybody lives in Lagos

When do you go to bed and when do you rise and also, what type of work do you do?

That's if you don't mind.

elantraceey:
8 whole hours? There are some days that I can't afford that luxury.

No be our present nigeria... When someone sleeps too much they will say he or she is lazy....infact sleeping too much makes me sick....

What about now?

kkash:
So, someone shld spend 1/3 of his life just sleeping doing nufn??

I believe that doesn't mean anything. The amount of productivity when you're awake is what matters.
