Sleepless nights – coping with sleep loss
How do you recover from a sleepless night? At some point in their life, everyone has asked themselves this question at least once. And what are the mistakes to avoid to recover as well as possible? Here are some answers.
Obviously, the ability to recover from a sleepless night varies from one individual to another. It depends on a number of factors, such as age, quality of sleep over the preceding nights and one’s personal sleep requirements. Specialists agree that enjoying the best sleep quality depends on following the Circadian rhythm. This is because our body produces hormones that play a role in triggering sleep. Like melatonin, for example, which is produced mainly at the end of the day and in the evening. This means that melatonin helps us to go to sleep when it gets dark.
This is why, after a sleepless night, it is often very difficult to get any quality sleep in the early morning. Ideally, a short 30-minute nap is best to make up to some extent for lost sleep. But the best way to recover is really by going to bed early the following night.
One mistake you should not make is to prolong this daytime nap. This is likely to interfere with the quality of your sleep the following night … and this can lead to ongoing sleep loss.
