Hello my dear Steemians,

 

Today I wanted to write my thoughts for this interesting contest running by @abdullahw2 if you want to learn more here is the link:

How many hours of sleep do you usually get each night, and do you think it’s enough?

 

On different stages of my life I had different amount of sleep that I needed to feel fit and concentrated. When I was a child I loved to sleep longer and usually woke up on weekend at 10AM, of course I then went to bed later too. So altogether I needed about 12 hours of sleep.

Nowadays I feel that I do not need too many hours and I woke up at 7AM and go to bed at 11PM, so it is then 8 hours and I have enough to be able to feel fit and well.

 

Do you follow any sleep routine (like reading, meditation, avoiding screens)?.

 

It just depends on how was my day and how it will be the following day. I often watch some news before going to bed including the weather forecast. No computers as I usually finish that couple of hours before. I usually put my phone on charger and as well as my laptop. Of course, I need to brush my teeth and use some cream for face and hands.

 

What disturbs your sleep the most? (noise, stress, mobile, late-night eating, etc.)

 

I have no problem with light, I can sleep even if it is light in corridor and light through the window. When I sleep and it is noise I often wake up but once I know what was the source of the noise and if it is okay and no danger I usually fall asleep again. Music does not bother me much, so if neighbour have party that is also fine I can sleep without problem.

 

Tell us about the negative impacts of not taking enough sleep and positive impacts of taking enough sleep on our health.

 

There are some negative impact of not having enough sleep, what I experience are:

• I am tired and falling asleep, once I had to drive and while driving I noticed such called “second sleep” luckily I woke up in time and everything was fine but I got real fright.

• I can not concentrate on the lecture or topic but also if I need to present something I feel that I make some mistakes.

The positive impact of having good sleep, I feel relaxed and in a good mood. I also can concentrate easily on subject during my lecture and also I feel that I can solve the problem easily.

I am inviting following users for contest: @rumanaafroz, @monz122, @uzma4882
