What is Hypnophobia
Hypnophobia is a person's uncontrollable and irrational fear of sleep.
This is one of the most painful and debilitating fears, since a person has to deal with it every day, and sleep is an integral part of normal human life.

Today, sleep procrastination is widespread and researchers are sounding the alarm: dreams are very important to the human body, and procrastination can have the most serious consequences.

Why should you go to bed before 11 pm
During night wakefulness, melatonin is not synthesized, and its deficiency leads to neurogenic, endocrine, and autonomic disorders.
Therefore, somnologists recommend going to bed no later than 11 p.m.
The best time for sleep and rest is from 21-00 to 00-00.
Before midnight, 1 hour of sleep counts as 2 hours, which is confirmed even by modern scientists.
At this time, the human nervous system rests.
