Good sleep is as much about quantity as it is about quality.
In thirty years we have lost an hour of sleep, and according to the National Institute of Sleep and Vigilance, one in five French sleeps poorly. “Good sleep depends on quantity as well as quality,” warns Dr. Anis Alulu of the European Sleep Center in Paris no one has the same needs. You need to know your own biological rhythm. In terms of quality, it should contain a good ratio of deep sleep (we physically recover and recover) and paradoxical sleep (we evacuate and prepare).
The key to restorative nights
To do this, it should be as little fragmented as possible. The key to restorative nights is to prepare them from the moment they wake up. Every 1.5 hours we have moments of reduced alertness, which are more pronounced when we are in sleep debt.

We can try power sleep sleep of the navigators – 20 minutes, which promotes brain recovery. “The goal is not to go into deep sleep,” explains Dr. Alulu. drink coffee right before or hold the spoon in your hand. When it falls, it’s time to start again. After all, a royal nap or sleep cycle of about 1.5 hours can partially compensate for heavy fatigue, but the most important thing is to always wake up at the same time, even on weekends.”
