Countless Ways to Fall Asleep

by Sreeraman on September 07, 2007 at 6:35 PM Research News

Are you awake even after 3 am? You will run out of steam the next day if you are awake so long!

Cornelius Kellner, a sleep specialist quotes� "If you offered someone one million euros to fall asleep in 10 minutes, he would not win the money."

It's normal to be awake at night occasionally but the body must regularly change its status to ensure blood circulation."

There are myriad ways to solve the common problem of sleeplessness.

Difficulty in sleeping is not unusual when under stress. "Fears, worries or aggravation are negative emotions that lead to higher body activity," said Martin Muehlensiep of the sleep clinic at the University of Cologne.

Six to eight hours of sleep per night is the normal range in terms of the amount of sleep one should get. Hence it achieves nothing to go to bed at 10 p.m. and expect to sleep through until 8 a.m., said Kellner. "Also, the ability to perform is barely reduced after a nearly sleepless night."

When that happens, people often take the wrong course of action the next day. They often attempt to take it easy or even to take a nap, said Muehlensiep. "Then obviously they won't be tired the next evening and will lie awake in bed."

Limit your evening activities to a routine pattern, Muehlensiep recommends. First read, then put on pyjamas or a nightgown, and then brush your teeth, for example.
