How to wake up easier in the morning

in #sleep6 years ago

The only way to wake up easier in the morning to sleep enough and go to bed at the same time. Easy to say, right? On the other hand, experts warn that even if we keep the best sleep, you can not have fresh in the first 15 minutes after waking. This is due to the phenomenon of "sleep inertia" that helps us easily back to sleep if we wake up suddenly at night.

Yet there must be some way to survive a lighter moment all you want of the world is "another five minutes." Let's see the most common.

Caffeine. Many people swear that they can not open their eyes before the mandatory cup of coffee . Caffeine is the most common way to overcome sleep inertia, but our relationship with him is not so simple. The problem is that easily develop tolerance, which leads us to absorb increasing amounts of ever smaller effect.

Caffeine works by blocking the action of a substance known as adenosine produced in our body which makes us feel tired. Caffeine mimics adenosine and binds to receptors for it. Adenosine can not reach receptors and reduces fatigue. When regularly start blocking the action of adenosine, the body decided that does not produce enough. As a result, begins to produce extra adenosine and we need increasingly larger amounts of coffee.

The end result is that we feel much more tired upon waking, because we drank coffee in the morning. These are most commonly addictive: what we accept as sleep inertia are actually symptoms of caffeine withdrawal.

Waking up after a full cycle of sleep. A complete sleep cycle lasts 90 minutes. If you have the discipline to set the alarm at the end of full sleep cycle (9 or 7 and a half hours after going to bed) are more likely to wake up rested.

Light. When we wake up naturally (ie the sun rather than alarm) production of melatonin in the body stops us before we wake or its operation stopped a few minutes later.

The best substitute for this natural process is t. Pomegranate. "Lamp for daylight." This is a lamp that emits light wave very similar to natural sunlight that fool your brain, that day has come. The illumination gradually before hear the sounds of real alarm (something like the song of the birds).

This amplified light gradually takes you from the deepest to the lighter its phases. At the sound of the alarm are much closer to the waking state. Many people say that this way of waking up feeling much better. Particularly useful for those suffering from seasonal affective disorder.

Bright blue light from the screens of the devices it suppresses secretion of the hormone melatonin, which is a key in the process of sleep. If you want to sleep well, do not use your phone, tablet or laptop at least an hour before bedtime. By the same token, if you view your favorite sites immediately after waking may awake easier.
