A new study has found that night owls - people who prefer to go to bed and wake up later - may be more prone to certain health risks.
Why should you go to bed before 11 pm
The best time to start sleeping is from 10 pm to 2 am.
With the onset of darkness, the human body produces melatonin, the sleep hormone.
Deficiency of the hormone melatonin leads to premature aging of the body.
What happens if you go to bed at 10 pm
According to scientists, the ideal time to go to bed is between 10 and 11 pm.
At this time, the level of the stress hormone cortisol decreases, and the level of melatonin (sleep hormone), on the contrary, begins to increase.
According to statistics, 76% of people who go to bed between 10 and 11 pm feel alert and rested in the morning.
How to understand that you have already slept
It’s quite easy to understand that you’ve had enough sleep.
You woke up and feel cheerful, active and can move mountains - that means you got enough sleep.
If you wake up and feel sluggish, unhappy and dissatisfied with life, you have to think that something has gone wrong.
