La finalul anului trecut am facut postarea asta unde va rugam sa imi recomandati carti care v-au schimbat viata. Prima carte de pe care am ales sa o adaug pe lista (https://imgur.com/a/iMxly0f) a fost Why we sleep (De ce dormim) de Matthew Walker.
>"Oamenii de ลtiinศฤ au descoperit un nou tratament revoluศionar care vฤ ajutฤ sฤ trฤiศi mai mult. Vฤ รฎmbunฤtฤศeศte memoria ศi vฤ face mai creativi. Vฤ face sฤ arฤtaลฃi mai atrฤgฤtori. Vฤ menศine รฎn formฤ ศi diminueazฤ pofta de mรขncare. Vฤ protejeazฤ de cancer ลi demenศฤ. ศine la distanลฃฤ rฤcelile ลi gripa. Vฤ scade riscul de atacuri cerebrale ศi infarct, ca sฤ nu mai vorbim despre diabet. Vฤ veศi ศi simศi mai fericiศi, mai puศin deprimaศi ศi mai puศin anxioลi. Vฤ intereseazฤ? (...) Desigur, reclama nu descrie cine ศtie ce nouฤ tincturฤ miraculoasฤ ori vreun medicament-minune care vindecฤ de toate, ci pur ศi simplu beneficiile dovedite ale unei nopศi complete de somn.
Pentru mine, un tanar de 20 de ani care privea somnul ca ceva optional, gandindu-ma ca daca fac o noapte alba urmarind un serial si dorm mai mult in urmatoarea, e perfect ok si ca nu are cum sa ma afecteze negativ. Nu? A fost atat de fascinanta cartea si m-a speriat atat de tare incat nu numai ca am dormit cel putin 8 ore in ultima saptamana (si o sa continui sa fac asta tot restul vietii), dar m-a ajutat si sa inteleg cat de important e somnul in mai toate aspectele vietii, precum si in dezvoltarea noastra ca civilizatie.
Autorul cartii este profesor de neurostiinta la Universitatea din California. Si-a dedicat intreaga viata studiind somnul si ce se intampla cu creierul nostru atunci cand dormim. Cartea isi propune sa explice pe intelesul tuturor, indiferent de varsta si ocupatie, de la ce inseamna REM si NREM, pana la cercetarile lui Freud despre ce ne face sa visam. Daca aveti probleme cu concentrarea, daca sunteti nervosi si anxiosi mai tot timpul, daca vreti sa traiti cat mai mult si sa va cresteti calitatea vieti sau pur si simplu sunteti curiosi sa aflati detalii fascinante despre somni, e o carte pe care trebuie sa o cititi. Mi-ar fi placut foarte mult daca parintii mei ar

Important read.
So many of us overlook the importance of sleep in helping us be productive throughout the day. Even though, weโre often bombarded with messages of waking up earlier and sleeping less in order to get more done, it is crucial to understand the science behind why sleep is important for our output.
Several factors like our Circadian Rhythm (24 hour body clock), and our Genetic Chronotype affect how each our bodies utilize sleep for energy. Concepts such as Non-REM and REM sleep explain how our dreaming and deep sleep helps our brains integrate information into our memories so that we can learn. I break all of this down quite simply here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuCTgxgWtDU
I hope that this might help you think differently about how you approach sleep and how it can help you improve your productivity.
I just finished this book and I would highly recommend it. I really didnโt realize how important and life-changing sleep is and could be. If youโre looking to seriously change the outlook of your everyday life (mental, emotional, and physical welfare) AND your life long-term, I recommend using this book as a guide.
Anyone else read this and have an epiphany regarding their own sleep habits?
He says it's much more effective to improve your sleep hygiene instead of taking anything. But I tried like at least 1000 times where I've been in a cold pitch-black room for 3+ hours with my phone turned off and away and I still won't sleep. I actually find I sleep much easier around the time of the sunrise then pretty much anytime at night. I've taken other supplements before melatonin and they don't really seem to work, but whenever I try melatonin, after 20-30 mins, I'm pretty sleepy and can fall asleep without much effort regardless of when I take it. Melatonin only lasts around 5 hours in the body so I might have to take an extra one when I wake up in the middle of the night though. The normal human body only makes about 30ug of melatonin a day, so I can see why people think 5-10mg is too much. I've personally haven't seen much significant difference between taking 0.5mg and 2mg so far. What do you guys think?
I just finished this book and I think it might help those who are in the first stages of alcohol withdrawal and are having trouble sleeping. It discusses how alcohol is very detrimental to the sleep process and how important sleep is to our mental health. Worth the read if you think you can't sleep because you are sober.
Thought it was interesting to know that our circadian rhythm is genetic. Guess there's a good reason I'm practically non-functional at 7am.
Why We Sleep argues that sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life. Matthew Walker aims to bridge this knowledge. As a neuroscience professor, Matthew describes how modern science has allowed us to better understand the behavior we all engage with.
