Over the last couple of days I have discussed how consistently getting a good night's sleep can help you stay slim and make you more attractive. Today we will look at our last favorite benefit attached to getting a good night1s sleep.
Good Sleep Makes You Smarter
That's right! A good night's sleep makes you mentally smarter.
How?
Well in a number of ways. Some of which are actually quite surprising.
Obviously after a good night's sleep we are more alert and able to maintain our attention for longer. That goes without saying. But it also seems that we are able to memorise things better, learn more quickly, problem solve better and be more creative!
This can partially be explained by looking at the two different stages of sleep; Non Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) and Rapid Eye Movement (REM) and their different influences on our cognitive processes.
NREM happens at the start of the sleep cycle and is when we encode and make sense of information and facts we have received during the day. During REM on the other hand we process procedural memories such as physical tasks, skills and mental processes. It is also when we do our subconscious problem solving and come up with creative ideas!
So if you fail to get enough of either of these types of sleep there is clearly going to be a price to pay.
In fact our advice is this. If you have a challenging test, presentation or difficult task ahead of you the next day, the best thing you can do is avoid staying up all night drinking energy drinks and coffee and trying to get prepared. What you really need to do is get a good night's sleep.
This is the last of my 3 great reasons to start getting better quality sleep. I hope you found them useful.
Don’t forget that as great as a good night’s sleep may be, it cannot perform miracles. So if you have any dental or cosmetic surgery requirements that you need or would like to have to make you look and feel better, then do contact me and I can arrange a completely free of charge 100% discrete consultation to see how we might be able to help.
Until then good luck and as they say in Hungary 'Jó éjszakát és szép álmokat!' (Good night and sweet dreams!).
