The expert said in the field SleepThe Harvard Medical School researcher, Rebecca Robins, says an additional 20 minutes is “all it takes” to make a difference in human health.
“If we all increase our sleep for 20 minutes, it will be beneficial for our mood, health and productivity. We are more efficient and more able to do the work and provide a high-quality work product, when we have had a good rest.”
When comparing data collected between March 16 and April 3, from an application called “SleepScore“With pre-epidemic data, it became clear that people were sleeping much later than night, but they were waking up 23 minutes after their usual morning time.
The data showed that they gained about seven additional minutes of sleep. In addition, on average, people spent an additional 10 minutes in bed after waking up.
Rubens stressed the importance of sleeping longer, though for minutes, because it gives the body immunity Stronger, according to Will and Good.
To demonstrate this, Robins conducted research, in which a group of people who got 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night, and others who had fewer hours of sleep (up to 30 minutes less), exposed them to a rapidly spreading virus that causes vomiting and diarrhea.
She explained that when an individual sleeps for less than the recommended 7 hours, the risk of infection with viruses increases 4 times more than those who get enough sleep.
“Isn’t that interesting? Our experience used the same virus … and in good rest, the risk of infection is greatly reduced,” she added.
“Sleeping well, along with maintaining social spacing and hand washing, is one of the best things we can do to stay healthy and prevent the epidemic (Covid 19),” the researcher stressed.
Also, lack of sleep does not affect people sufficiently in the short term only, as experimental studies conducted on animals have proven that it can have long-term effects on physical health.
She explained that sleeping enough hours also protects against problems of cognitive decline, such as a disease Alzheimer’s AndDementia.
To get enough sleep, Robins suggested applying a set of steps, the most important of which is to record the hours of sleep that an individual gets and record his feelings in the morning, to determine the number of hours of sleep sufficient to give him the ability to work and produce well during the day.
She also stressed the importance of creating a “night routine” that one can practice before bed, such as bathing with warm water or reading for 15 minutes, to prepare the body for entering the stage of relaxation and sleep.
