False myths and legends: insomnia passes over time

Human beings have very clear basic needs, among which is to sleep well. The specialists affirm that for the body to rest it has to sleep 8 hours a day. With the hectic lifestyle in the 21st century, it is somewhat complicated, but it must be made that way, because lack of sleep always ends up bringing many adverse problems that we are not aware of. The organism does not get used to sleeping less, this is a false myth. In the same way it is what we treat: insomnia does not go away with time. Insomnia is a very serious problem and it has to be treated.

Insomnia does not go away with time

• The body does not get used to sleeping less than 8 hours a day, the one who gets used to it is oneself who gets used to the idea that your energy cannot be higher. That is, a person who sleeps five hours a day does not perform the same as a person who sleeps eight. This does not affirm that because one day we sleep less than the recommended hours we are going to accumulate hours of sleep, but it does affirm that if we do not sleep the necessary hours day after day this will end up taking its toll. In addition, it is scientifically proven that the lack of hours of sleep does not recover.
• But you don’t always sleep less hours because you want to. There are certain sleep disorders that do not allow us to sleep as many hours as we would like, an example of this is insomnia. This can be due to many reasons such as stress, transcendental problems such as breakups or loss of family members, etc. In addition, there are actions and substances that increase the seriousness of the matter. Caffeine, tobacco and other stimulants have effects that last for 8 hours. Alcohol is a depressant and can help you fall asleep easily, but it will also make sleep less lasting and wake you up sooner.
• However, exercising daily 5-6 hours before going to bed can be a great solution to this problem. A series of habits must be adopted that make us sleepy and relax us, for example reading a book, listening to music, taking a bath, etc. We must be able to find actions that are relaxing for us to better fall asleep and rest as much as possible.
