do you think going to be dby 10 everynight really benefits you?

Question

do you think getting to sleep by 10 pm each night, really benefits you. that's if you do it every night and develop the same sleep schedule?

oh i'm up by 6 am for work.

Answer 1

A normal sleep pattern is always healthy. But going to bed at 10 depends on what time you get up in the morning. If you get up at 6, yes that is great. But if you're not getting up till noon, I would have to say that's a bit too much sleep.

Answer 2

Sleep is huge, if you are up by 6am every day then you will slowly build sleep deficite if you are not asleep by 10pm

Effects of Sleep Deprivation:

During practically any time of the day, most college students are sleepy enough to fall asleep in less than five minutes! Many of us think it is normal to be sleepy during certain activities, but the truth is, if you are getting enough sleep, you should be able to stay alert all day no matter what you are doing, even if you are in CIV or Chem lecture. A person's daily need for sleep is determined by how much sleep a person needs in order to maintain the same level of alertness that he or she had the day before, and is usually from 8 to 10 hours a night. Sleep deprivation occurs when people do not get their daily need for sleep, and accumulates into what is called a sleep debt. This sleep debt can be one hour or hundreds of hours, and it keeps on building up as long as a person is not getting his or her daily sleep requirements. The harms of a large sleep debt include: impaired performance in daily activities and a really strong desire to sleep, even at the worst times (such as while driving or trying to write that term paper). Benefits of adequate sleep are feeling energetic and on top of things all day. The only thing that can reduce the sleep debt is getting more than your daily need for sleep.

Another factor that affects our sleep wake cycles is the function of the biological clock. Biological rhythms follow patterns during the day that are fairly standard for all people: a strong wake alerting in the morning, a dip in the early afternoon (making us want to snooze after lunch), and another strong alerting period at the beginning of the night (getting us geared for a big party night or a long night of studying!)

Answer 3

A routine sleep schedule is important to keep your circadian rythms in sync. IF you get good quality sleep. Everyone has different sleep habits and different requirements to meet their body's needs. Some, like me, are day sleepers. I get better sleep in 4 hours in the daytime that at night. If you feel rested during the daytime and are able to keep active then it works for you.

Answer 4

yup, your body gets used to 8 hours sleep, and the circadian rhythm of your body gets set .
