We often hear that it is necessary either go to bed at the same time every nighteither get up at the same time every day. But what is it really? The expert answer.
According to an IFOP survey, published in 2022, around one in three French people say they are unhappy with the quality of their nights. Among women, 38% would be dissatisfied with their sleep. Today, 30% of the population seeks to improve your sleep preferring regular rest schedules, in order to gain energy.
Get up at the same time every morning
Sleep experts certify that it is more than necessary to have regular hours and especially of wake up at the same time every day. In effect, the hour of getting up gives rhythm to the day which begins. In this way, the body understands when the day begins and when it ends. “It’s the hour of getting up that codes the hour of falling asleep. It is a chronobiological anchor”declares the head of the university department of sleep medicine at the University of Bordeaux, Pierre Philip, to the media West France.
Go to bed at the same time every night
We learn, however, that if sunrise time should be roughly the same every day, bedtime she matters less. But why ? Simply because the time when you will actually be sleepy can change every day, depending on the events of your day. Several factors can impact the time your body will have need some rest (stress, sport, alimentation…). “The best time to go to sleep is when you feel sleepy. Sometimes people can make the mistake of going to bed before they are tired and then run into the problem of lying awake in bed hoping to fall asleep”explains Mehwish Sajid, researcher in sleep medicine at the University of Michigan, to the media Women’s Health. He adds : “Seven to eight hours of sleep at night is usually enough for most adults to feel alert and well-rested during the day”.
