Answer 1

Nightime sleep is impt as we are meant to sleep at night. It's more conducive to sleep at night as the world is quiet; and dark. . There are a lot of chores and school activities expected of a mom. And more importantly, the quality of sleep is better at night. The dangers of sleep deprivation at night will render one with daytime fatigue, difficulty with concentration, irritability and stress. It can also compromise the immune system.
Bright lights and sunlight exposure is not conducive to sleep. Our body's natural biological clock is scheduled to sleep at night.

Make your bedroom primarily a place for sleeping. It is not a good idea to use your bed for paying bills, doing work, etc. Help your body recognize that this is a place for rest or intimacy.


We need enough good quality sleep to feel alert during the day, especially during the afternoon. If you have a sleep debt you wil feel very sleepy in the afternoon. Then our circadian pacemaker kicks in and makes us feel more alert early in the evening thus rendering us more unable to sleep. Many people try to pay back the debt on the weekends resulting in the disruption of their circadian rhythm.

Adolescents need about 9.2 hours of sleep each night, compared with the 7.5 to 8 hours that adults need.

A matter of hormones

Part of sleep's effect lies in hormones. During deep sleep, the production of growth hormone is at its peak. Growth hormone speeds the absorption of nutrients and amino acids into your cells and aids the healing of tissues throughout your body. The hormone also stimulates your bone marrow, where your immune system cells are born.


Melatonin, often called the sleep hormone, is also produced during sleep. This hormone inhibits tumors from growing, prevents viral infections, stimulates your immune system, increases antibodies in your saliva, has antioxidant properties and enhances the quality of sleep.

Rhythm and blues

Some studies show the value of maintaining a steady and natural rhythm in sleep patterns.

Researchers are uncovering important insights into how sleep heals. Studies revealed that after a few nights of these disrupted sleep;, the students developed the classic symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.


Another study examine how the immune system reacts to sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation resulted in decreased number of natural-killer cells- component of the immune system.

What is sleep deprivation?
Many Americans don't get enough sleep to remain healthy and feel alert during the day. Recent studies have shown that Americans sleep an average of 7 hours each night rather than the 8 hours recommended by sleep experts.

People who work long hours, those who have a hectic family schedule or a new baby, teens who stay up late and have to get up early for school, and even people whose pets sleep with them may get less sleep than their body needs to be at its best. Over time, this lack of sleep, also called sleep deprivation, can have serious effects on health and relationships. It may even be deadly.

What are the effects of sleep deprivation?
It isn't clear why we need sleep, but we do know that sleep is as important as food and water. Some experts think sleep helps the brain recharge its energy and store memories for the long term. Sleep also seems to help the body fight off infection.

People who don't get enough sleep may lack energy, be depressed or irritable, have trouble remembering everyday things, and get sick more often than people who get enough sleep. They seem to age faster and they may have problems concentrating at work or school. Some scientists believe a lack of sleep may have a role in diabetes, high blood pressure, heart problems, and even obesity.

Poor sleep also leads to accidents. More than 200,000 auto accidents happen each year because drivers fall asleep at the wheel. The 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill was at least partially caused by the actions of a tired tanker operator.

On the other hand, too much sleep can be as harmful as too little. Recent studies have shown that adults who get 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night live longer and are less likely to get heart disease than those who sleep less or more.

How much sleep is right for you?
Some people feel fine with 4 hours of sleep, and others require up to 10. Older people tend to need less sleep than younger adults; children and teens need the most. The right amount of sleep for you is the amount that allows you to awake refreshed and have energy throughout the day.

Some experts say that you are sleeping the right amount for you if you do not need an alarm clock to wake you in the morning. Others suggest that you note how long you sleep during vacation--when you do not have to get up at a certain time--and use that schedule as a guide. During the first part of your vacation, you may sleep longer to make up for a prior lack of sleep, but the length of time you sleep after vacationing for a few days is probably the best amount for you.


Sleep habits for a good night's rest:

Stay away from caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol, particularly later in the day.
Have a light snack (but avoid eating a large meal) shortly before bedtime.
Go to bed and get up at the same times each day, even on weekends.
Get regular exercise early in the day.
Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet. A fan or soft music can help disguise distracting bedtime noise.
Use your bed for only sleep and sex.
Before bedtime, do muscle-relaxing exercises or take a warm bath.
Don't take sleeping pills unless your doctor prescribes them.
Avoid daytime naps unless they last less than 1 hour and are taken before 3 PM.
Try counting sheep or counting backward, which can lull some people to sleep.
If you lie in bed awake for more than 30 minutes, get up, go to a different room and read or watch television, and return to bed when you feel sleepy

It is better for you to sleep when it's dark than when it's light. I had a night job for a year and had to sleep during the day with all the noise people made in my neighborhood in the daytime. My system seemed really out of whack. I had to take sleeping pills to sleep and was always tired and grumpy.
