Why You Needs To Sleep

Apeatrice October 16th

Hello, night owls. How are you doing?

✨Sending strength and love✨

It has come to my attention that a lot of us are not getting enough Zzzs. Due to a lot of reasons, some had an awful day and used it as a coping mechanism; some stayed up because of the heavy amount of work; some are suffering a variety of mental challenges and can't sleep.

This thread is a reminder of why sleep is important and how to improve it.



what happens if you don't get enough Zzzs;


▪ Not sleeping enough can give you memory issues; it can help you forget what has happened, but this can have a long-term effect. For me, it can take weeks to recover my memory, wondering if I had been staying home or staying on Mars during that time.


▪ Sleep deprivation can cause heillusionation.

Not only can you begin to see things that aren't real, but also in perceiving things in reality, having trouble telling a human apart from a ghost, etc.


▪ You may be staying up because of the upcoming exam, but the best way to ensure you pass is to get the rest you deserve, not pulling an all nighter and burning the late-night oil.





Here are some points to improve your sleep;


• Creating a steady and achievable sleep schedule.

If sleeping 8 hours forever sounds overwhelming to start, begin by "I'm going to sleep at 11 p.m. for two days." You can add the days little by little.


• listening to pink music. 

Putting on music like rain, waterfall, wind, etc. can help to promote a sense of calm and security. Thus making going to sleep less difficult.


• Use a sleep tracker.

Using a sleep tracker can help you to record how much progress you are making and where to improve.

Here are some apps to try:

Sleepzy

SleepScore

BetterSleep


• Avoid punishment.

The results and effects of not sleeping enough are already harmful enough to yourself. Please don't take it out on yourself.




You have been so brave today; life has been really rough on you. More burdens are downing on you. I understand that you don't want to face it. I understand that sleep will make the issues real and the pain more feelable. But getting some rest and approaching the problems in the morning will help you to handle them. Pain will end; success will come soon.

not sure why but staying up late feels like the norm to me. It’s usually around 2 am I finally crawl in bed. It’s like thats my time and I don’t want to let go of it. But then I need to be up at 5:30 so it’s not much sleep
