Sleep is Health

Everybody can sleep, but does everybody sleep well?

As an average, a healthy night’s sleep for adults is judged to be between 7 and 9 hours. Of course, this can vary from person to person; whilst someone may be completely energised and healthy after 9 hours sleep, another person might only require 6 to optimize their sleep.

Research carried out by the Sleep Foundation has shown that if the below points apply to you, then you are making the most of your sleep:

• You fall asleep within 15-20 minutes of lying down to sleep.
• You regularly sleep a total of seven to nine hours in a 24-hour period.
• While in your bed, your sleep is continuous—you don’t have long periods of lying awake when you wish to be sleeping.
• You wake up feeling refreshed, as if you’ve “filled the tank.”
• You feel alert and are able to be fully productive throughout the waking hours (note, it’s natural for people to feel a dip in alertness during waking hours, but with healthy sleep, alertness returns).
• Your partner or family members do not notice any disturbing or out of the ordinary behaviour from you while you sleep, such as snoring , pauses in breathing, restlessness, or otherwise nighttime behaviours.
