Daily Productive Sharing 1158 - 5 Sleep-related Myths

Dr Selfie -

One helpful tip per day:)

What are the mysteries of improving sleep? Vox outlined five key insights:

  1. The key to improving sleep hygiene is finding the method that works best for you.
  2. People often misunderstand melatonin. While it’s a sleep aid, it is not a prescription medication for treating insomnia.
  3. Unlike sleeping pills that knock you out instantly, melatonin can provide sleep-inducing effects when you occasionally have trouble falling or staying asleep.
  4. Melatonin’s role is to prepare your body for sleep, similar to avoiding blue light or creating a dark environment to promote drowsiness.
  5. While sleeping in for a few extra hours on a Sunday morning can help alleviate daytime sleepiness, it doesn’t necessarily eliminate the long-term effects of sleep deprivation.
  6. Train your brain to relax before bed by reading in dim lighting, meditating to soothing music, or enjoying a warm cup of caffeine-free tea to better prepare for sleep.

改善睡眠有哪些谜团？Vox 梳理了其中的五种：

  1. 改善睡眠卫生的关键在于找到适自己的方法。
  2. 人们常常误解褪黑素，虽然它是一种助眠剂，但它并不是用来治疗失眠的处方药。
  3. 褪黑素不像安眠药那样让你立刻昏睡，但当你偶尔难以入睡或保持睡眠时，它可以提供一定的催眠效果。
  4. 褪黑素的作用是为身体做好入睡准备，类似于避免蓝光或营造黑暗环境以促进困倦。
  5. 虽然在周日早晨多睡几个小时在某些方面可能有效，但并不一定能消除睡眠不足的其他长期副作用。
  6. 在睡前训练大脑放松，比如在昏暗的灯光下阅读、伴着舒缓的音乐冥想，或者泡一杯不含咖啡因的温茶，可以更好地准备入睡。
